Robin Hood's Butts

Robin Hood's Butts are a group of nine Bronze Age barrows near Otterford on the Blackdown Hills in Somerset [1]. They have been scheduled as ancient monuments [1]. The origin of the name is unknown, however local folklore describes their use by Robin Hood and Little John to play quoits [1]. The name is known to have been used since the 19th century appearing on a tithe map created in 1844 [1].
