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.

“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.”
