Logan Rock on the Cornish coast south of Penzance? (A `rocking stone' that was pushed over by some British sailors in the early 1800s but the locals made them replace it.) Or something similar elsewhere!

If you need a clue, the location has been mentioned on OG before in mystery objects. I'll give it one more day and then come clean.
