"He doesn't always find alignments with distinct features on the horizon. About 30 percent of the sites he's checked showed none, he said."

The astronomical significance of Stonehenge is somewhat dubious. I suspect that if one takes any set of landmarks and try to fit them to enough phenomena you'll get some chance coincidences.

Pyramids, for instance, are clearly aligned to the cardinal points of the compass, but a lot of the other archeological astronomical interpertations are somewhat dubious.
