Stone 14 is the most likely candidate for being the one originally named as "The Friar's Heel" before that name migrated to the Heel Stone. John Aubrey (Monumenta Britannica 1665-93, 95) wrote:
One of the great Stones that lies downe, on the west side, hath a cavity something resembling the print of a mans foot; concerning which, the Shepherds and countrey people have a Tradition (which many of them doe stedfastly believe) that when Merlin conveyed these Stones from Ireland by Art Magick, the Devill hitt him in the heele with that stone, and so left the print there.
Aubrey Burl researched the origins of the Heel Stone's name and its migration and came to the conclusion that it's the fault of Dr John Smith in 1771. Burl writes (in the Wiltshire Archaeological and Natural History Magazine, vol. 84 1991, pp. 1-10):
It was he alone who was responsible for transferring the title of the Friar's Heel from the correct, fallen stone at the far side of Stonehenge to the previously anonymous outlier at the north-east. 'As the spectator advances, from the valley, up the grand avenue to the temple, the first stone, that offers to his view, is called the Friar's heel, and stands two hundred and ten feet from the body of the structure' (Smith, J., 1771, 51).
