I am not religious but am from a loosely Anglican background and as far as I know the Church of England has always respected this and the many other ancient monuments around the country as impressive works but of unknown purpose.
Obviously it was a well-organised society that built Stonehenge, Avebury Stone Circle not far away, and many other smaller structures, but as a professional archaeologist once told me when we were admiring the remains of a long barrow in Scotland, we can have no idea what those people believed, not what sites like Stonehenge were for and how.
Not must we try, as the Victorians rather romantically tried, to think for them.
