Robin Hood's Ball : ウィキペディア英語版 | Robin Hood's Ball
Robin Hood’s Ball is a Neolithic causewayed enclosure located on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England. It is approximately 5 miles from the town of Amesbury, and 2.5 miles from Stonehenge. It was formerly known as Neath Barrow. ==Etymology== Robin Hood’s Ball, despite the name, is entirely unrelated to the famous folklore hero Robin Hood. In fact 19th Century maps indicate that Robin Hood’s Ball was the name given to a small circular copse of wood just to the north west of the earthworks. It is probable that over time the name came to be associated with the enclosure instead. Greenwood's map of 1820 shows the copse named as Robin Hood's Ball and the enclosure named as Neath Barrow.
