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 splits the 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.
