History
Creation
The Doctor and Samantha Jones visited Stonehenge while it was being constructed. (ST: The People's Temple) The Monk, however, claimed to have used anti-gravity lifts to assist in the completion of Stonehenge circa 1500 BC. (DW: The Time Meddler)
At some point in its history, the Alliance placed the Pandorica beneath Stonehenge for the Doctor to find. The pillars beneath Stonehenge began to act as a transmitter for the members of the Alliance to converge on it in 102 AD. The transmission was sent to everyone and to all time zones, resulting in Vincent van Gogh (presumably amongst others) having visions of the opening of the Pandorica. As the pillars within the "Under-Henge" were clearly more than their appearance would suggest, and as as the Pandorica was also placed there, it is possible (if not likely) that the Alliance constructed the "Under-Henge". When the Doctor arrived at Stonehenge and found the Pandorica, the Alliance imprisoned him within it. (DW: The Pandorica Opens) Since the Doctor later re-wrote history and the Alliance was never formed, it is probable that the "Under-Henge" and its contents no longer exist. (DW: The Big Bang)
The Druids
During the times of the druids, the Cybermen were believed to have been guarding the Pandorica underneath Stonehenge. Parts of Cybermen such as arms and heads lay on the ground around the henge. The Doctor believed they had been 'dusted up by the locals'.(DW: The Pandorica Opens) Since the Doctor altered the timeline, the presence of the Pandorica and, subsequently, the Cybermen had never occured.

Modern times
During the 1970s, the Ragman was defeated at Stonehenge. (PDA: Rags)
