U say authentic druids, and your question before was: how can druids of more then 1 order live on the same world; there are more then 1 druids "cult" the particular group of druids, which built stonehenge, has built a very inatly accurate calendar, using the suns position to determine this, although I think there something more to this. But, they were still druids, there is no real authentic druids.
Sorry no, there has been no "real" druid influence at stonehenge.
Here is a rough time line of the building.
2800BCE Stonehenge first phase
2100BCE Stonehenge bluestone circles
2000BCE Stonehenge sarsen circle
1550BCE Stonehenge in present form
And it is thought druids only got to England by around 600BCE. So there is no way the druid people had any part in building it.
And as a side note. Anyone can lineup a rock to the sunrise. All they had to do was sit of another rock and watch the sunrise for a number of years. Just look on how long it took each stage to be done. I am sure who ever built it saw where the stinking sun was rising every day and saw its max and min movements of the sun during the year. It was a calendar and that was all. Give me a couple of years and I can build one for you.

You have been looking in the wrong place, there are druids who learn and teach the original form of the art, and have build the own understanding, which subtly varies, but there is no right and wrong, cause then if it was wrong; its not druidry.
Sorry no, due to the Roman and Christian oppression almost all (if not all) druid oral tradition has been lost. This is due to the fact of the winner writes history. The druids from northen Europe were either all killed out or converted into Christianity. And how did they do that you ask. By allowing them to hold some of the same ceremonies but they must do them as Christian and for the Christian beliefs. Also most of what we know about druids come from Roman historians and they were writing more propaganda than anything else. And with all of that the "true" teachings are lost.

Sharing of knowledge is mixing elements of stuff. And as you said earlier. There are many different strands of druids, so some could be doing that. Even Christianity is a mix of belief systems.
