Trigged boulder

Anyone know what a "trigged boulder" is? The Rabbit Hunter box (No: 6905) clue mentions it.


Thanks,

John.

Not 100% sure but is it the rocks that have been inscribed with an OS benchmark, like an arrow?

When you find the box can you let us all know.

Hi Guys

Found this on the net?? maybe this will shed some light??

The Ruggle Stone

Situated near to Widecombe in the Moor this famous logan stone (a naturally trigged boulder that can be rocked with relative ease) has a rather unique, well unique amongst logan stones, story. Unlike the majority of logan stones this one can only be moved by divine intervention as this story demonstrates. One day a stranger came into Widecombe and asked at the inn if anyone could direct him to The Ruggle Stone. Apparently he had heard much about its druidical connections and wished to see it for his self. A very obliging local offered to guide him to the stone for a small remuneration. Ten pints of cider later the guide and his charge staggered off down the lane towards the famous stone. Before long the local was beaming with pride as with a sweep of his arm he introduced the stranger to the famous stone. The stranger stood for a moment in awe and then heartily set to trying to rock the logan. It didn’t budge an inch, he tried again but this time with a little more vigour, it still never moved. Looking directly at the bemused guide he asked if this was in fact the real Ruggle Stone. The poor fellow was indignant, “cawse tis, I’d lived yer for all me life and I am sartin, tis the ruggle stone”. Again the stranger tried to budge it, the veins in his neck stood out like ropes. “Well it won’t move” he yelled. “Aw, why din ee zay ee wanted un to move, I ud ‘ave brought the charch kay for ee”. Which roughly translated means that to make the stone log or rock the Widecome church key and only the Widecome church key had to be placed on it.

Should you fancy some Dartmoor Rock then The Rugglestone can be found at grid reference SX 72357641

Well there you go, sounds like another way of describing a logan stone.

Okay, thanks!
