Rocks that are larger at the base and smaller at the top near where the hole is, are almost sure to be man made.

Brig, this seems to me to be a very logical thing.
http://www.sportesport.it/anchors01.htm http://www.spring.arbor.edu/ttwmk2/assets/TTWMK-ancfish-b4-20b.pdf I thought I'd look these up. The site above shows a few of the types of stone anchors that were used in ancient time.
Most seem to have been irregular in shape.

Single-hole stone anchors
The ancientest anchor models were simple stone slabs, sometimes very large, that retained the vessels just thanks to their weight. Cheap but not practical, they were probably used also as loose weights. Several large single-hole stone anchors were recovered from the Poenician trade vessel sunk near Ulu Burum (Turkey) during the XIV Century B.C. (above, right).

It also convinces me that Atlantis was not in either the Americas nor the Mediterranean.
The idea that the stones and the holes were made by water not only did not convince me, but sounded like someone grasping at straws trying to disprove something.
The fact that the holes all seem to be in the same place (at the top of the stone) is quite obviously done by man - not water. I'm sorry, but that had to be the most absurd thing I have ever heard.
However, I will say that the places stretching from the Bahamas into the Mediterranean could, easily, have been the conquered land and peoples which Atlantis held.
Remember, the ONLY places they did not hold inside the Med were ATHENS (not the Greece we know today, but the same Athens), and EGYPT. No where does it say that they did NOT hold the islands & lands inside the Med.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this one out.
