I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'stonehenge worshipper' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'did without sport' is the wordplay.
'without' means one lot of letters goes inside another ('without' can be similar in meaning to 'outside').
'sport' becomes 'RU' (rugby union).
'did' going around 'ru' is 'DRUID'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for druid that I've seen before include "Ancient priest of Wales" , "Member of Welsh Gorsedd; ancient priest" , "Ancient Celtic priest" , "Old Celtic priest" , "Celtic soothsayer" .)
