Here is the stone Rupert is talking about...

but there seems to be no more info about what it is. Surely you would have to take some stone off for investigation to prove one way or the other, which of course means defacing it.

Coflein gives it as 'tomb guardian' phallic symbol stone, not sure it is the same one but fascinating none the less......

I doubt 'defacing' it would cause too much of a stir Moss if done sympathetically and not too evasively if it would help resolve the issue.
