This stone\n once stood on the top of an elevated rock near it, and when in this position,\n whenever it heard a cock crow in the neighbouring farmyard of Hay, it turned\n round three times.\nThe topmost stone of that curious pile of rocks in the parish of St Cleer known as the Cheesewring is gifted in like manner. Even now the poultry-yards are very distant, but in ancient days the cocks must have crowed most lustily, to have produced vibrations on either the sensitive rock or the tympanum of man.","title":"Popular Romances of the West of England: Romances of the Rocks: The Cock-Crow Stone","type":"page"}
