Until approx. 50 years ago it was a criminal offence to be a wiccan or a practising pagan.Perhaps this in itself accounts for the lack of hard evidence to support the modern druid as such.
Druidry is as much a way of life as a religion; practised by people wanting to openly display a love of the land, tolerance of their fellow man, respect for their surroundings, and re-kindling old ways of healing and "religious"(if thats the right word) practises.
Some feel the need to wear robes, others do not. All respect the sanctity of ancient sites, and to Druids Stonehenge is amongst the most important.
I find it hard to believe that the Druids of today would even consider the idea of a modern burial site at Stonehenge; disturbing something of such ancestoral importance is not their style, nor do they believe, their rite.
If calling ones self a Druid can in anyway make the path one follows a better path, thus making the world we live in a better place, then I see no harm done.
