“This stone is in the parish of Sithney, on the property of C.W. Popham, Esq., of Trevarno. It was formerly a logan-stone, but was thrown off its balance in the time of Cromwell, by Shrubshall, then governor of Pendennis. – The stone is 11 feet long from east to west; depth 4 feet. Men Amber is a corruption of Men-an-bar, which signifies, the top stone.”

This drawing is accompanied by some Sensible Scientific explanation. “By the antiquary, it has always been considered as the work of art, being a Druidical monument employed in some of the ceremonies and superstitions practised by them [...]; the geologist, however, considers the Logan-rock to be the work of nature alone, as granite is well known naturally to disintegrate into masses of a somewhat [cubical] form [...] thus rude spheroidal blocks, like the Logan-rock, may occasionally be formed, although an exceedingly rare combination of circumstances will be required in order to produce a block possessing this peculiar property.”
