The computed data reveals that Point 2, located at 47.6508°N, -3.5090°E, exhibits a precise alignment with the winter solstice sunrise, dated to 1361 BCE/CE with 100.0% precision and a distance of 5.0 km from the reference point. This suggests that the site was intentionally positioned to mark this specific solar event, indicating a sophisticated understanding of solar movements by its creators. The absence of additional archaeological context, such as artifacts or structural remains, limits our ability to determine the cultural affiliation or function of Point 2. Without such information, it is challenging to draw definitive conclusions about the site's role within its community. In the broader context of archaeoastronomy, the alignment at Point 2 is reminiscent of other prehistoric sites where solar alignments play a central role. For instance, the Caral civilization in Peru, dating back to 2870–1970 BC, has been associated with astronomical orientations in its urban planning.
