The present Warren Walk forms the southern boundary of the area that was once named Humple & Robin Hood, while Arundel Gardens are immediately west of it, and Wellfield Gardens at its eastern boundary. Low Common Lane, its northern boundary, is now simply Common Lane. The [[Robin Hood (Royston, Barnsley) (2)|other field known as Robin Hood]] was located about 400 m SE of Humple & Robin Hood, its name being preserved in that of [[Robin Hood Avenue (Royston, Barnsley)|Robin Hood Avenue]] which runs along its western boundary.
