Bosley Cloud (1)
Date Added: 21st Aug 2011
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Cheshire)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 0000. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4
Bosley Cloud (1) submitted by PaulM on 19th Aug 2002. Bosley Cloud Stone
This stone is located SJ905636 on the back slope of Bosley Cloud, a hill in Cheshire.
It is not known if this stone is prehistoric standing stone or a natural boulder but it has been utilised as a marker (a cross is carved into the top of the stone) for the Cheshire/Staffordshire county boundary which splitsthe Cloud. If it is natural it is fortuitously placed but it is a stone out of keeping with those in the immediate area.
A track runs right beside it.

The Plague Stone
Date Added: 21st Aug 2011
Site Type: Ancient Cross
Country: England (Cheshire)
Visited: Yes on 21st Aug 2011. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 5
The Plague Stone submitted by Vicky on 18th Oct 2001. THE PLAGUE STONE , Higher Sutton, near Macclesfield SJ9561469227
This wayside cross, possibly a Christianised standing stone, was apparently the place where goods were left by the healthy for sale to the plague-stricken. The latter took the goods and left the money in a pot of water. Interestingly the 1904 OS map shows an isolation hospital located near by.

Longgutter
Date Added: 21st Aug 2011

Longgutter submitted by astronomer on 26th Jul 2004. This elusive circle is mentioned by Paul and Vicky Morgan but is difficult to find although only 300m south of Bullstones. It might be a stone circle but then again may be the base of a roundhouse. In 1878, JD Sainter records roundhouses some 200m further south again, in the field north of the road.

Sandbach Crosses
Date Added: 7th Sep 2014
Site Type: Ancient Cross
Country: England (Cheshire)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 2012. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 5
Sandbach Crosses submitted by TimPrevett on 25th Mar 2005. The two huge crosses at Sandbach (pronounced sand-batch; most are probably familiar with the Sandbach Services on the M6) ; I've travelled many miles taking in other crosses en route, but these two are as near as on my doorstep, and I'd never visited! The astonishment I felt at their size was in proportion to said size.
I wasn't particularly happy with the photos I took on this visit, but having been once and being so close, I'll return, and also for a night shot when they are lit up, hopefull...

Yearnslow submitted by Vicky on 15th Dec 2001. Yearnslow, Rainow, near Macclesfield, Cheshire GR: SJ96457695
This interesting bowl-shaped mound (on the horizon in the centre of the picture) is situated on a knoll at 1175ft above sea level close to Yearnslow Farm. It was reputedly opened by some Derbyshire explorers in the 19th when some Roman coins, glass beads, and bones were found in it. Today the mound which is around 19m in diameter and just over one metre in height, is covered by ruined dry-stone walls.

Charles Head submitted by astronomer on 30th Sep 2011. Charles Head tumulus is on private land owned by Spring Bank Farm. Following unauthorized digging some years ago and the removal of artifacts, the present landowner expressly forbids access.
We were kindly granted access and permission to take photographs only because of personal relationships with nearby landowners.
The tumulus is approximately 1m high and 12m in diameter and is crossed, E-W, by a dilapidated stone wall.
