Stonehenge is on a distinguished road
A 4-5" thick, 8" deep snapped-face stone should hold up just fine - the top row or tow might be a little weak, so you might consider blind mortaring them, and using larger stones where you anticipate foot traffic, like steps. We've built walls with steps in them made from stone this size and they've held up just fine.
