Use water and fire to break them into smaller manageable pieces.
If you wanted them whole, dig a trench under them and put in wooden rollers and then turn the trench into a ramp and use levers or manpower to pull them along. If you can't dig a trench under them, then build a water tank around them, fill with water and float the rocks with air bags (animal stomachs) and then put the rollers under them under the water and then dismantle the tank and roll them along as before.
Using specially-built levers a single person can move fairly big weights. It's just a matter of spending some time to think about it.
