According to a nearby sign, the reason it leans to the side is that at the end of the 19th Century, "men dug to a depth of two metres in the hope of discovering treasure".
There appear to be other smaller stones of interest close by, but an electric fence (and bulls on my visit) may perturb one from closer inspection.
