Sure, they might have ate toads. Or some kid said, "I wonder what would happen if we threw this toad in the fire." One burnt leg bone isn't a lot to go on. It is neat they have such a good site so near Stonehenge.

It's really not all that surprising; I would expect people of that era to be much less picky regarding their diet than we are today. There's nothing saying it was a staple, just that someone roasted it and ate it and depending on their circumstances they might eat anything that was edible. In tough times we eat each other...

Or they could have been some sort of "burnt offerings". You know, "eye of newt, and leg of toad". No teeth marks mentioned, just a charred goods, and near Stonehenge, makes anything possible.

Or maybe it went something like this:

Hunter 1: "We've been hunting all day and haven't even come CLOSE to catching a rabbit, fox or squirrel"
Hunter 2: "I know. And I'm starving. What CAN we catch?"
The rest., as they say, was history. Just hope they had already invented tabasco sauce.

EVERYTHING goes well with Tabasco Sauce!

Any "medicinal" values to the toads?
Good question, when I was working in China, according to the local guardian we had while travelling around, everything over there either made you healthy, or horny.
