Approximate location of Robin Hood's Butts.

By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-07. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-09-02.

"Robin Hood's Butts" is the former name of Beacon Howes, two round barrows from the Bronze Age, c. 30 metres apart, situated in a field bounded by Robin Hood Road, Raven Hall Road, Scarborough Road and, to the north, Brow Moor. The larger has a diameter of c. 20 m and a maximum height of 1.2 m, while the smaller has a diameter of c. 16 m and a height of 0.5 m or less, having been nearly plowed out. Remarkably, by the middle of the 19th century the name "Robin Hood's Butts" had been transferred to three mounds situated 1.4 km NW on Stoupe Brow, Brow Moor.[1] The earliest evidence of the name "Robin Hood's Butts" applied to Beacon Howes (the old usage) cited at English Heritage's PastScape website[2] is Warburton's 1720 Map of Yorkshire. The name is, however, in evidence 38 years earlier, for Ralph Thoresby visited the mounds in 1682 and noted the visit in his diary (see 1682 Allusion below).

See the page on places named Robin Hood's Butts for a general discussion and list of such names.
