The martian "Stonehenge" was only considered as a natural but linear setting of large boulders as seen from Spirits position heading to the Columbia Hills around Sol 089 (see second post). The naming was more a joke to reflect the agressive nonsens of claiming Mars as a home of intelligent extraterrestrial life as blustered by some people.

The "Stonehenge" is part of the Clark Hill and can be seen well in the image from Sol 218. It seems to be a spur of hard volcanic ash, something like natural concrete, which was deposed in a straight rift and stands out today while the weaker sediments are eroded away by the wind.

Some more information (considering information to that date) were presented by my collegue Dr. Norbert Gasch on June 11th, 2004 on the "What on Mars" page.
