I believe the answer is:

stonehenge

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'group of rocks' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'single layer gets moved outside' is the wordplay.
'single' becomes 'one' (a single thing - only one).
'layer' becomes 'hen' (hens lay eggs).
'moved' indicates anagramming the letters.
'outside' indicates putting letters inside (some letters go outside others).
'gets' with letters rearranged gives 'stge'.
'one'+'hen'='onehen'
'onehen' put into 'stge' is 'STONEHENGE'.

'in a' is the link.
