The Standing Stones 'Robin Hood' and 'Little John' is a pair of upright stone monoliths located in Northamptonshire. These stones are believed to date from the Bronze Age, though their precise chronology remains uncertain. The two stones stand as notable examples of prehistoric standing stone monuments in the East Midlands region. Their popular names, derived from the legendary outlaw, reflect later folk tradition rather than contemporary historical association, and their original purpose and significance remain subjects of archaeological investigation.
