“the site consists of at least 20 huge shafts, more than 10 meters (32 feet) in diameter and 5 meters (16 feet) deep, forming a circle more than 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) in diameter.”

32 feet across could have been roofed, and wooden structures inside like a floor or two (possibly a basement for animals) could have provided earth-sheltered (moderate temperature) food storage and lodging for pilgrims/festival attendees.

Looks like a massive sick call in to hinder completing the circle... diggers union problems?

Actually, this introductory graphic seems to imply that other sites are known that tend to complete the circle. TBD.
