The holes were discovered about 10 years ago, but a new analysis examining how the posts were positioned with a reconstruction of the ancient landscape, sky and horizon, reveals that they accurately lined up with the sun on the solstices.
Phil Harding from Wessex Archaeology discovered the holes.
This was the moment Mission Control asked five astronauts on the International Space Station to take shelter in their docked spacecraft.
On the Russian side of the ISS, two cosmonauts were attempting to fix an air leak and the rest of the crew were sent to a SpaceX capsule in case an emergency evacuation was needed.
NASA said it was acting out of an abundance of caution and two hours later Mission Control said the astronauts could come out of their shelter.
This isn't the first leak on the ISS.
A service module on the Russian side has suffered from small amounts of escaping air for several years.
There are concerns about the age of the orbiting lab, which has had crews of astronauts living there since 2000.
But Libby Jackson, head of space at the Science Museum, who used to work in mission control, says there's always a way for the astronauts to get home.
Rebecca Murrell says,
Well, it's a very exciting mission.
It's going to be a 10-day mission to the moon and back home again.
For the first two days, the astronauts are going to be orbiting around the Earth and they're going to be checking out their spacecraft because basically humans haven't flown in the Orion spacecraft before.
So they need to check all systems are OK.
And then mission control will hopefully give them the go-ahead to go to the moon.
It takes about four days for them to get to the moon.
They'll be flying around the far side of the moon and hopefully seeing...
bits of the moon that haven't been seen with human eyes before.
The far side of the moon is the side we can't see from here on Earth.
And then they'll be making their way back home.
