This is woodhenge in Cahokia that yields similar results. It is near St Louis so if you want to see such a device, all you have to do is go.

Chankillo, a Peruvian "Stonehenge", has 13 towers in a straight line. No-one knows why. Now, Amelia Sparavigna at the Politecnico di Torino in Italy ... show[s] that the first tower lines up with sunrise on 21 June and the last tower lines up with the sunrise on 21 December ...[and] the shadows point north for half the year and south for the other half. What's more, when there are no shadows the sun is at its zenith.... [T]his would have been important information for a farming community, which would need to know when to plant seasonal crops.... However, many questions remain, not least of which is why there are 13 towers?
Thanks Rebelbase.
My guess would be that those ridgelined “towers” are the nose bleed section for watching the games being played in those courts below the ridge.
