As much as I hate it personally I think the Newgrange approach is the answer. Distant visitors' centre, shuttle buses and a fixed length, fixed size accompanied tour.
Problem is with numbers. I think about 1000 or so a day go through Newgrange and nearly twice that much visit Knowth. Stonehenge must get more. Only 50 people are allowed at Newgrange at any one time and 80 at Knowth. This does mean that on busy days if you arrive mid morning you may end up waiting around the visitors' centre until late afternoon. People do seem to tolerate this quite readily, though.
