While the comparison with Stonehenge is misinformed, it's still a fascinating and little known site.

Boy, they really beat the Stonehenge comparison into the ground, don't they? But it does look like an interesting site, Stonehenge connections aside. The holes through the stones are a nice touch.

Yes, nice site. It's a pity they don't publish the "exact topographical map of the Monument" on the website. I'd like to see an explanation of their dating technique - "The age of Carahunge has been estimated to be 7500 years or older (VI millennium BC). This was accurately ascertained by taking readings of the motion of the Sun, Moon and stars, using four independent astronomical methods based on the laws of the changes of the Earth’s axis precession and incline."
Looks like one needs to buy the book...

As I don't venture up here often, I will be brief.
A hole is a hole, unless that hole is filled with something else.
In an observatory, the hole is filled with a lense.
Sound , signals , harmonics, light,frequencies, all similer?
For your lense , think quartz, dont think with your eyes.

A hole can be a lens, ever heard of a pinhole camera?

Its too drafty up here for my type of observations.
A pinhole camera simply allowed light to play upon the recording material.
Which is what your eyes percieve.
With modern dishs etc, they are not observing light are they?
Contemplate that far back in our past, they also were not observing light.
At the moment with modern detection equipment, they can tell you exactly where all the planets are, even when your eyes can't percieve them, I simply consider that has been possible before, and that will have mattered very very much to them.
You need to think longitudinally.
