Maybe the added structure of Stonehenge was the ancient equivalent of building the Empire State building, a bit of engineering prowess.

Humans aren't so different, nor were they so different. They like to impress with their works.

There's a new book just come out (can't remember name of it) that does go for the "Look how clever we are!" reason for Stonehenge being as it is.
