This is a Logan Stone and is shaped like a stone axe.It will move but with great difficulty.You have to fight your way through lots of furze to get there but is worth the visit. Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink

"It was said that if you touch a Logan stone nine times at mid-night,any woman will become a witch.A more certain plan is to get on the Giants Rock at Zennor church-town nine times without shaking it.Seeing that this rock was at one time a very sensitive Logan Stone,the task was somewhat diffucult."
