Description THE MINN END LANE IV & V STANDING STONES, Wincle, near Macclesfield, Cheshire SJ9402766213 & SJ9402866216 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 stones not listed on the CSMR as being prehistoric in origin. They stand bolt upright and make a good pair of gate posts. Old OS maps show that the field to the west of Minn End Lane was once fully enclosed, but it does seem a little odd that all the other stones were removed apart from these five).
