The Bullstones
The Bullstones, Centre-Stone Circle
The Bullstones can be found high above the town of Macclesfield on the southern boundary of a moor called Cessbank Common, close to Clulow Cross. It consists of a ring of small cobbles encircling a central standing stone with fabulous views to the north, east and south, taking in the sumits of Shining Tor and Shutlingsloe to the north-east and the outcrop of The Roaches and Hen Cloud to the south-east.
A spectacular, enigmatic and intrigueing monument in a breathtaking setting. It is probably one of the most important and unusual monuments in the Cheshire area, it shares many similarities with centre-stone circles which are more commonly found in south-west Scotland.
