As I understand it, Stonehenge wasn't all built at once but in three stages 
between 3000 BC and 1500 BC.  The Druids were the priestly caste of the 
Celtic tribes of Northern Europe, whose migration into Britain bagan around 
600 BC.  So Stonehenge was certainly pre-Druidic, but only by a bit less 
than a thousand years.
