NOTES
Because of the lack of old sites in Cheshire some have been added from the surrounding area. But it is very likely that there are other sites not recorded here and it would be worth searching uncultivated hill slopes, other waste ground and any canals or disused railway lines.
  I have heard of a site 'on the Middlewood Way, between Stockport and Macclesfield', last few years.
