I'd say not, during most time periods, readily available stone would probably have been broken up and carted off and used in your local house/barn/field wall etc....

At Bryn Celli Ddu on Anglesey, there was apparently another whole tomb and a couple of portal stones nearby that were demolished over time, and used to build a field wall. Ditto Avebury, I believe I read that a fair amount of the sarsens were broken up and went to buildings etc...

The same happened with Wroxeter. There's Roman pillars that form part of the church gates in the nearby modern village.
There's a few meters of dirt that's built up in Avebury's henge, but I'd expect that, in a ditch, over 4,000 years. But several feet over many acres in less than half that time?
