More likely with traps, seines and gillnets ... there wasn’t the leisure time we have today then ... get the food and move on to other necessities.

The answer is obvious. Just as the natives in New Guinea built replicas of airplanes as part of the cargo cult, beseeching the return of the Gods in their flying vehicles with so much in the way of goodies, these huge circles were putative landing sites for the mother ships.

The natives were trying to lure the Ancient Aliens back to Earth.

(Well, its as good a theory as any)

Certainly a better theory than the great pyramids and sphinx were built during the Egyptian Fourth Dynasty.
