“Professor Casana describes the circular feature as a “council circle,” which were centers of tribal communities in North America, believed to have associations with astronomy, but they also served as ceremonial, political, and defensive structures.”

Might be a good way to trap passing game animals.

Good observation! My former business partner and I recorded a hunting blind of limestone within 75 meters of the entrance of Carlsbad Caverns, in New Mexico. The site had been missed be several preceeding surveys over a 50 year period.
