The stone you mention on the side of Stowe's Pound is called the Jubilee Stone. I was up there about 10 years ago with one of the archaeologists from Truro and he said it was put there by the miners to comemerate Victorias Diamond Jubilee. Apparently the gunpowder went off to the tune of God Save The Queen.

Ive always known it as the Merry Making stone and have not heard about the Victoria connection. I am sure they would have set explosions off up there to celebrate such things but I think the fact that they could play tunes is a bit of an urban myth.
