And if the Narnian inhabitants thought it had magical or mystical powers of some sort- or if they simply went to view it out of curiosity like a western tourist would visit the Pyramids or Parthenon.

I don't think it is quite like a Muslim's pilgrimage to Mecca... more like a Christian's trip to the Holy Land. Interesting and inspirational, but not essential.

A mound was built over the table and Lewis mentions somewhere (sorry I couldn't find the exact quote) that Prince Caspian would not use that table because he knew it was to important to use like a normal table.
But in the secret and magical chamber at the heart of the How, King Caspian, with Cornelius and the Badger and Nikabrik and Trumpkin, were at council. Thick pillars of ancient workmanship supported the roof. In the centre was the Stone itself - a stone table, split right down the centre, and covered with what had once been writing of some kind: but ages of wind and rain and snow had almost worn them away in old times when the Stone Table had stood on the hilltop, and the Mound had not yet been built above it. They were not using the Table nor sitting round it: it was too magic a thing for any common use. They sat on logs a little way from it, and between them was a rough wooden table, on which stood a rude clay lamp lighting up their pale faces and throwing big shadows on the walls.
(Prince Caspian)
