Large rocks are massive throwing weapons. Only trolls, ogres, and giants have the sheer size necessary to throw these effectively. For those who can throw them, they have the best damage and lowest base mulching rate of any thrown projectile (4%). Unfortunately, they're also extremely slow; a character with no Throwing skill requires two turns to hurl one. Once you have the training to wield them effectively, however, large rocks offer gruesome amounts of ranged damage.
You can occasionally find them on the floor, but they are most often seen in the inventories of cyclopes and stone giants, who enjoy throwing them at you. They are always generated unbranded... unless, that is, you find a branded ammunition shop, which may offer you large rocks with the following brands:
