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.

Log Text: This is the barrow Elizabeth Biddulph calls Fawfieldhead Low in her book Leek's Forgotten Past. Very large, dwarfs the modern barn next to it. One of my favourite barrows in Staffordshire Moorlands.

Blue Boar Farm

Country: England (Cheshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
Blue Boar Farm submitted by Vicky on 15th Dec 2001. Blue Boar Farm Barrow, Rainow, near Macclesfield, Cheshire GR: SJ970763
This scheduled conical mound stands in a field opposite Blue Boar Farm and was first mentioned in the 19th century. Standing on a naturally level platform on the ridge top, this tumulus was originally around 20m in diameter but because of ploughing it is now closer to 31m by 26m. It was excavated in 1972, but sadly there are no records as to what, if anything, was found.

Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Yes on 1st Apr 2013. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 4
Blake Low submitted by twentytrees on 29th Aug 2006. You can just discern the curve of the barrow in this picture - in real life it is more prominent - 1.1m high, and 25x22m. Investigation in the 19th century discovered a cremation, charcoal, and a flint scraper and knife.

Log Text: An easy site to access but the wooden fence surrounding the site and the close proximity of the farm buildings give the site a rather 'hemmed in' feel to it.

Bishop's Wood
Date Added: 13th Aug 2014
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Yes on 2nd Jun 2013. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 2
Log Text: The road leading to the site is a private road. The main road running South from Loggerheads is very busy and nowhere to park. I would suggest parking in Loggerheads itself and walking to the site. There are paths leading nearly all the way around the fort. Ditches and banks visible in parts. Fairly heavily afforested.

Two of the three are known to have been excavated with finds i...

Bawd Stone submitted by vicky on 2nd Sep 2001. The Bawdstone, possible dolmen, near Hen Cloud, The Roaches, Staffordshire GR: SJ009620
This so called ‘dolmen’ was described by antiquarian J.D. Sainter in his book ‘Scientific Rambles Round Macclesfield’ in 1878:
"At a short distance south of Rock Hall, there may be observed on the opposite side of Hen Cloud a block of gritstone, which upon approaching it, is found to be rested or balanced, in the first place, upon a short edge of rock and then upon two upright and pointed pilla...
