I have posted this is the past so I appoligize if it is too familiar. I have used a sheet of plywood 3/4" X 2X3' with a 2X6 bolted to one end with a chain fastened to the bottom of the 2X6 - roll or slide the rock on the plywood and when pulling on the chain the plywood bends enough to go over most bumps. The other thing I have used is a chain basket. Think of it this way. Take two light truck tire chains laid side by side with the distance between the two chains equal to the width of the cross chains. The existing cross links in each chain are attached to every fourth link on the side chains. Attach extra cross links to the second link between each cross chain connecting the two sets of chains. This gives you a chain net that can be draped around the rock and is more secure than trying to wrap a chain directly around the rock. By looping a tow chain through to corners of the net once it is around the rock you can close the basket and have an easy way to lift the rock. Be careful, rocks are heavy.
