Hang on ... excavation report said ... "May be the remains of a field boundary"

Having a dig about is usually more reliable than simply surveying a site. What the report possibly missed is - May have been reused in a field boundary.

'THE' test? The one and only? Not really. I could show you several modern fences that have Equinox or Solstice alignments. A 'significant stellar alignment' would be just one very good indicator.

Sometimes a row of stones is just a row of stones ....
