I've been coming around to that idea myself.  Stonehenge is rather 
iconic to most of the world, and when looking around I came up with 
the following in the area.

Avebury.  I know, it's pretty well known.  And the town of Avebury 
actually encroaches inside the largest circle.  So, two points 
against me.  But Avebury is thought by many to be more significant 
than Stonehenge.  And then there is the theory of William Stukeley 
the historian that systematically catalogued and measured the site.

"Stukeley was the first observer in historical times to clearly 
recognize that the original ground plan of Avebury was a 
representation of the body of a serpent passing through a circle and 
thus forming a traditional alchemical symbol."

I think I'm going to give this some more thought.
