Robin Hood and Little John Stones, Northamptonshire

Robin Hood and Little John Stones are a pair of squat standing stones close to the River Nene on Ferry Hill in Northamptonshire, in the Soke of Peterborough area of the county. Whilst traditional associated with Robin Hood and Little John, these probably early mediæval stones may have marked a safe crossing of the river. They are within the council area of Peterborough.
