Rocking stones are immense rocks, so situated that the least touch can make them rock in one certain direction, but which cannot be made to move in any other by all the force that can be applied to it by unaided humans. Such stones are common in Britain and other places around the world; in Galicia, they are called pedras de abalar.

Bosistow Logan Rock is at the head of Pendower Cove (sometimes written as Pendour Cove) near Zennor, Cornwall. It apparently was discovered by an employee of the lord of the local manor whose duty it was to watch the coast. A ship had been wrecked in the cove, and while watching ensuing activity, the employee leaned against a boulder. Suddenly there was a gust of wind, and the boulder shifted, or "logged". The longest side of this mass of stone is about 15 feet, and the circumference of its biggest end is about 20 feet. It is thought to be about 20 tons.

There are even some masses that have been shaped by humans that exhibit similar behavior (sometimes unintentionally). For example, in the ruins of the Roman temples at Jerash in Jordan (the "city of 1000 pillars"), there are some massive pillars that move back and forth in the slightest breeze.
