Following the Charter of Responsible Megalithic Webmasters, I find the following:
Quote:
| Any discovery made at a monument should be reported to the local museum. Every clue that aids in the understanding of these places can then be shared by all who wish to know.
Use the monument in whatever way you choose, for
sightseeing
scientific investigation
experiential satisfaction
religious practices
But do not move, mark or alter the monument in any way, even temporarily. This specifically includes moving or re-arranging stones, digging in or around the site... |

I am making the assumption that your question is very literal. Having said that, the likelihood of your find being significant is very dependant on the nature of the markings and whether the stone was lying on the surface (above ground cover) or had, for instance, recently come out of a slope due to erosion.
