Has anyone looked at a satellite image of this rocky outcrop? I mean. if it happened to be next to an easy one mile route to a river it wouldn't be proof but it would tip the scales in favour of the human transport speculation quite a bit. It wouldn't even need to be downhill or "easy" as it wasn't at the other end.

Moss reckons the bluestones weigh between 2 and 4 tons – shifting one of those a mile or so would be chickenfeed for those fellas :-)
