Of course, no consistent position of the entrance gaps doesn't signify there was no religious or ritual significance, merely that there was no archaeo-astronomical significance. In fact, further, they might have been dripping with archaeo-astronomical significance, but this happened to be not expressed through the position of the openings...

I can't help feeling that the people who expended the considerable effort of making a henge merely to keep animals in rather than for religious purposes would have been of a very peculiar mindset compared with how most people tend to be through history, and that some sort of communal belief system was most likely to have been involved.
