Robin Hood's Well (Catterlen)
From International Robin Hood Bibliography
Catterlen Wood where a spring was known as Robin Hood's Well according to the 1857 allusion.

According to Jeremiah Sullivan (see 1857 Allusion below), a spring in a wood near Catterlen was known as Robin Hood's Well. I have assumed he meant Catterlen Wood, which is adjacent to the village. The coordinates cited in the infobox and indicated on the Google map are those of the wood. I have not been able to locate the well. Template:PnItemQry
