It's a good point that the pagan mounuments the order was saying to destroy wouldn't have normally been the prehistoric ones [although it clearly was at a lot of places still] but the dark age wooden ones of of say the saxons, vikings, picts, celts and even the Druids still, some people would still be using prehistoric monuments but a lot would have had there own contemporary ones, and i presume they were all burnt down and that would explain the lack of evidence for them, and the prehistoric monuments that were left were the ones no longer been used [basically all of them] and therefore often lost in undergrowth or protected by people or just not recognised at all.
