Why would Buck House not be a solar / lunar arrangement? Because the alignments are random without right angles between them and these large angles are not cardinal lines. Except equinox which is a calculation, not an observable rising. Only a circle can suitably contain multiple variable directions in an aesthetic way.
A sundial becomes boring after a while, every day the same process. Sunrise and sunset may have been boring after 1000 years. It's solstice! Yeah So what?
Then the priests move on to the big game of world politics, the political realm of the cardinal directions of the king. The King of the Four Quarters. This is a refinement of sunrise with temples aligned north-south, Buck House. So Indra the sun-god has Angkor Wat on the cardinals, as with pyramids after the stone circle of Nabta.
Newgrange and Maes Howe were built taller than the eroded and vandalised mound today, and perhaps Silbury also. The square chambers may be fore-runners of a cardinal concept and maybe the mounds even had a pyramid style, either on solstice or cardinal alignments. So did the new cardinal idea, as at the Celtic temple of Gournay sur Aronde, make the circles become unfashionable and then abandoned?

Megalithic society did not develop,because all megalithicians were occupied with astronomy only.

Do you think the Stonehenge great trilithon and 4 trilithons in a quadrilateral plan were a development away from astronomy?

Sure, if you buy into the idea that Stonehenge was specifically designed to be aligned to a solstice, then one possible justification for other monuments not being aligned, even though they are aligned, is that the others are square buildings.

Is the argument that only circles count when it comes to alignments?

I think the megalithic structures were built according to the local course of the force lines of this odd field and did not have anything to do with astronomy

Dowser , What evidence can you provide to to support your thought that megalithic structures were built “ according to the local course of the force lines of this odd field “ ?
Where astronomy or at least an alignment towards an auspicious astronomical event e.g. a solstice , looks a possibility can you suggest why your thought should be considered to be the more likely explanation rather than astronomy ?

Yes only circles can harmoniously contain the random angles. For another thing, a square SH would block or diminish the apertures between ring uprights, by geometry. The sighting would be o/o rather than oIo shape.
Cardinal squares can only align to Pole star and equinox which are a bit boring. Not male/female, not dying/ being born and not hot/cold seson.

Do you mean 'stone-age megalithicians' or 'modern megalithicians'?
If the first one, are you saying the megs were only for astronomy? Not force fields?
If it was for force fields, is there a society which developed because of force fields? The Dowser dynasty of Egypt? The Teutonic Twitchers? National Swastika-Field Marshalls?

There is aso the right angle found for solstice and standstill when the horizon and latitude are suitable . Which is what Freeman is getting at in his connection with SH the Majorville medicine wheel and Kazakhstan although there is a lot more leeway than is usually imagined by the believers in the choice of latitude having an impact on choice of the site .

--- George,just find these lines around megalithic structure,then it is easy seen.

How many alignements we know all around the world?How many of them aim to solstice?And what is probability that it is accidental?

You didn't answer the questions . Merely replied with another question .

We know from ethnography that solstices are important for many cultures from foragers to contemporary western .They are marked and provide guidance for calendrical events ,feasts etc .
Monuments throughout the world have solstice alignments .

Oh,it was only my irony.
Megalithicians are megalithicians,"modern megalithicians " are not megalithicians,actors rather.Megs were for force field.There was societes developped because of force field;Atlantis,pre-Incas (look at Tiwanaku,at oldest part of Sacsayhuaman,at underwater megalith near Yonaguni isle...) Dowser Dynasty of Egypt?Probably ,yes. Modern dowsers are amateurs,those ancient dowsers were scientist with wide knowledge about this field.
Tetonic twitchers and S-F marshalls has nothing to do with this field,their researches are legend only.

Nay, I answered! In the sense: some of the pairs of stones (or rows of stones) can be pointed at solstice accidentaly. Maciej

In that case we could expect a square either aligned to solstice or cardinal with corners to solstice. The right angle is not apparent in SH ring geometry.

Pyramids are on dowser forces? How can Germans have a swastika and not be a dowser blitzkrieg force in the field?

Yes of course some pairs of stones or even rows can aligned by coincidence but there are plenty of examples where the evidence suggests it is not coincidence and they don't consist of pairs of stones or rows

But that is not an aswer to the questions .Here's the questions again .
"What evidence can you provide to to support your thought that megalithic structures were built “ according to the local course of the force lines of this odd field “ ?
Where astronomy or at least an alignment towards an auspicious astronomical event e.g. a solstice , looks a possibility can you suggest why your thought should be considered to be the more likely explanation rather than astronomy ? "
