Bow Stones, Cheshire
The Bow Stones are two Anglian cross shafts located on Higher Moor near Kettleshulme, Cheshire. The monument comprises a pair of cylindrical late Anglian cross shafts set in a single base stone. Both shafts have a cordon, or rounded stone moulding, near the top with interlaced decoration above, indicating a date not later than the 10th century. Both shafts have lost their heads, although it is thought that two stone cross-heads at nearby Lyme Hall may be these. It is within the council area of Cheshire East.
