I am sure everyone has heard by now that Mr. Roberts is out of the coma, but Aunt Harry went by the hospital yesterday and talked with Mrs. Roberts.

I'm inclined to believe she simply forgot to capitalize Stonehenge, since it's implied--at least in my eyes--that she meant to say she'd build a replica of Stonehenge.
