It is definitely not granite. Dark rock, basalt-like, fine

The operative word was "granitic", which covers diorite.

Thanks John & Landy. Now I know what caused this.

I note that you are in an erosional valley and the stones are not very big. In the vallies in Colorado there are some large stone 10-12 feet in diameter. these granite stones were alluvial deposits. Glaciers pried them loose and what were called 1000 year floods moved them 30 miles from the arete. You stones appear to have the same context. they are in a small valley and are small stones.
