< Firstly, the Swastika Stone isn't a swastika, is it? >
Certainly is! It was called a 'swastika' as early as 1885 in an article by J. Horsfall Turner on the prehistoric remains of Ilkley Moor, who related it to another near-identical design in Sweden, also known as a swastika at that time.
Swastikas come in varied forms thanks to the morphing effect of history, as well as different cultures giving it their own tribal touch, so to speak. And to me, the sooner the symbol is returned to its archaic nature in the collective social consciousness, the better.
