Notes: Nice rock basin on top. Like most logans, I doubt this one rocks anymore. Sabine Baring-Gould, in A Book of Dartmoor, tells us that: “Roos Tor, which the Ordnance surveyors playfully render Rolls Tor, possessed two logan stones, but quarrymen have destroyed one, together with the fine mass of rock on which it stood. Near it lay a huge menhir, never removed till these depredators broke it up. I give an illustration of the head of the tor with its two logans, taken in 1852; one alone remains.
