gritstone visited on 1st Jun 2020 To my knowledge this listing does not exist. There are a lot of dry stone walls in the area, but the info in this listing gives no clue as to where to look.

Anglo Saxon socket stone for a cross built into a wall.

South west Approaches Audio Trail by Andy B on Saturday, 13 February 2010
(User Info | Send a Message)
This is a 10 mile walk in a quieter part of the National Park. You may see or hear a wide range of moorland across moorland flora and fauna as you cross the wild moorland, valley and forest, with beautiful panoramic views across the Cheshire Plain to the Welsh hills. Starting from the Cat and Fiddle pub on the A537 Buxton to Macclesfield Road you will venture through Macclesfield Forest and conquer Shutlingsloe (Cheshire's Matterhorn) .
