Robin Hood's Butts.

By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-06-04. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2021-01-07. Photo courtesy Tim Prevett, MA, producer, consultant and lecturer on slow TV.

'Robin Hood's Butts' is the name of two adjacent Bronze Age bowl barrows in the northern area of the Long Mynd, near Duckley Nab, c. 3 km west of All Stretton.

According to Dobson & Taylor, the name was applied to "[a] group of tumuli on the edge of the Long Mynd".[1] However, while more than twenty mounds, referred to collectively as the Long Mynd Barrows, are scattered over the plateau,[2] the name 'Robin Hood's Butts' seems to be quite consistently applied to only two of them. The name appears on a fairly early O.S. map (1833) and was already in use by the early 18th century.[3]

One of the two round barrows collectively known as 'Robin Hoods' Butts' is about 23 m in diameter, flat-topped with a height of just 1.5 m. The other, situated c. 75 m south, is c. 37 m in diameter and 3.4 m in height. With a berm halfway up the slope on the west and south sides, the barrow has the appearance of a small mound placed on the flat top of a larger one. Due to this feature it is classified as a stepped bowl barrow. It was opened circa 1840, but nothing was found in it.[4]
