It 'came up' somewhere else!
There seem to be stones like that around various parts of the country.
They are supposed to have magical or curative powers, or even come to life and move at cock-crow on certain days such as Christmas.

google searche.g. Turning Stone Location: Looe - Cock-Crow (or Cockcrow) Stone Type: Legend Date / Time: Still present? Further Comments: This hunk of rock rotates three times on hearing a cock crowing in the morning. The treasure under the stone should be accessible during this time, but hampered by the fact that only one particular cock will animate the rock. Sheringham: The cock crow stones A tale has been told of two stones lying outside a Sheringham barn that are said to rise up and run across the road when they hear the cock crow. Source: W. A. Dutt: 'The Ancient Mark-Stones of East Anglia' (Flood & Sons, 1926), p.19. Best one yet: The Wimblestone can be found on a hillside at Shipham in Somerset: at least, that's where it can be seen during daylight hours. At night the old stone roams the hills, going over to see the Waterstone at Wrington, and stopping off for a drink before it returns home. Farm-workers who pass by late at night have seen it rustling along the hedge, a huge dark shape lumbering towards them. When the moon is full on a Midsummer Night, it dances around the field, and for a brief hour all the gold that lies hidden in the hole underneath can be plainly seen, glittering in the moonlight. But it would be death to rush across and try to grab a coin. The stone is very nimble, and resents intruders (Tongue & Briggs 1965: 12).
