Robin Hood's Stoop on Offerton Moor is an old boundary stone which was perhaps originally part of a medieval wayside cross. According to later tradition Robin Hood shot an arrow from the Stoop all the way to Hathersage churchyard, about 2 km to the NE.[1] Similar traditions relate to Whitby Abbey (North Riding of Yorkshire) and Limlow Hill (Cambridgeshire. The earliest source for this place-name I know of so far is the 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1883, but it seems likely it was included on earlier maps.
