Whooping Rock (N50 37.545 W003 47.858) used to be a Logan stone however it no longer rocks due to some people moving it off its balance years ago. It gets its name from the noise that it used to make when it was set in motion by the wind. It is also a druidical logan stone and is thought to be an enchanted rock. There was also a local tradition when children had whooping cough that they were taken to the rock to be near the sheep in the area as it was believed being close to sheep was thought to cure it. The rock is also known as Piggie Rock.
