The slidey stone does'nt look very 'megalithic' Branwen, too many sharp corners by the look of it.
There are two stones I can think of on this site, one is the 'London Stone' that is of disputed antiquity that looks like its got a prehistory, though it slap bang in the middle of London; the other is the Wishing Chair at Whitby which stands near my daughter's shop and I think is a stone used for getting on your horse and not a wishing chair.
Single funny shaped stones are fascinating, thinking of the Glastonbury stone now in the abbey which is a rounded saddle type fertility stone, you have to sit on it to get pregnant which is the latest folklore!....
