I doubt these stones are in situ.

Definitely the stones are in situ. Presumptions by not being there at the site should be avoided.

As I assume you have been to this site I am curious about some details: Are the fallen/lying stones seen in the photos in situ too? What is the estimated age of this megalithic site?

Yes all these stones are undoubtedly in situ...I am unsure of the dates. The site could be Chalcolithic but the authority on this is the discover Subhashis Das. Why don't you mail him or visit his website may be.

but if they were standing up straight, then any "alignment" would point to somewhere completely different

It's working for me. Would you be able to help me translate some of the sites he lists into Portal listings Holger? I have some coordinates.
