This site is one which intrigued me for years. It is so very visible from such a wide area that I feel it must have been a very important site in prehistory. I live near it and am always surprised at how little known it is. The reasons West Cornwall Dowsers are going there is because on our trips to various sites during the last year I've kept noticing Men Amber in the distance and commenting on it. I did take a Cornish Earth Mysteries outing there several years ago

Shrubsall only tipped the logan rock over onto its side. It is still on top of the rocky outcrop which forms its base.

Definitely worth a visit.

Absolutely agree Andy, I've pondered these rocks from various vantage points for years, and can't believe it's as little visited and recognised as it is. Definitely hides its light under a bushel. I think that whole area warrants further focus. Quite likely I think that the ridge area around Polcrebo Downs held more of interest before the mining - the positioning of that stack is on such a prominent crest...think an eyes peeled traverse of that set of ridgeway tracks is called for. Did your earth mysteries visit come to any conclusions?
