Two large stones of mountain limestone on Hampsfield Allotment, immediately east of Heaning Wood, c. 1.3 km SE of Field Broughton, used to be known as 'Robin Hood and Little John'. Though their collective name seems to have gone out of use, the two large stones still exist.

The earliest record of Robin Hood and Little John known to IRHB is a 6" O.S. map published in 1851, based on a survey carried out in 1848. The name is included in 6" and 25" O.S. maps published as late as c. 1947 and possibly later. James Stockdale noted in 1872 (see Allusions below) that they had "from time immemorial gone by the names of Robin Hood and Little John", but "[n]o reasons for these names are known". He suggested that they might have served as boundary marks for shepherds when the area was unenclosed. A recent arcaheological survey lists the stones as "possibly boundary markers of Medieval date", noting that they display "natural erosion features which are now upside down".[1] Two wandereres who photographed the stones in 2015 noted that "[r]ecent clearing has really opened up the area - a few years ago this was almost a woodland path hemmed in by trees and scrub".[2]

The district is now part of Cumbria.[3] Template:PnItemQry
