Bosley Minn 2 & 3 submitted by Vicky on 13th Nov 2001. THE MINN END LANE II & III STANDING STONES, Wincle, Near Macclesfield, Cheshire SJ94006603 & SJ94006603
Theses two 'gateposts' stand along the line of the same wall as the three authentic Bronze Age standing stones. They could just be modern gateposts, but it seems strange that every other piece of stone has been moved from the wall apart from these two.

The northern-most pair of stones on Minn End Lane. Again these two are probably prehistoric but adapted to gate posts. They both lean to differing extents and are more weathered than II and III. Both are listed on the County Sites and Monuments Record as a Bronze Age standing stones. (There are two other stones in between these and the at SJ9400366030 & SJ9400366032 However, these two ...

Log Text: As a complete inexperienced amateur, I'd say these are common stone gateposts, of which I can find many undocumented in this (my local) area, that are very similar to these.

Coat Castel menhir submitted by JohnGinny on 2nd Sep 2007. Another hillside track menhir on the outskirts of the village. Overlooking the river that feeds the local fontaine. Again high earth banks delineating the pathway to the stone.
A very impressive 7 meters high, it hid amongst the trees until we nearly bumped into it!
Woodland menhirs have a tendency to turn the same colour as trees which makes hunting them rather difficult - even when accompanied by a detailed map.
A imposing stone, apparently it is well known locally and located in a w...

Satan's Stone submitted by TimPrevett on 13th Aug 2007. The field beneath the church is supposedly where the deeply grooved Satan Stone was rolled to, having originally been where the church is over 800 years ago. This view looks NNE to Shutlingsloe - a very important landmark and hill for the area.
