Hello Bob,
Yes, stones do work their way to the surface. At the Derby & Lancs Gliding Club field above great Hucklow, it was once the practice for everyone to walk the field every few weeks and collect what had risen. Now, this is not necessary - perhaps everything has settled down? The Peak District was once mostly covered by trees and when cleared the land given over mainly to sheep and lead mining (but for the latter, the Romans got there first).
