"Its measurements must have been crucial for the farmer/settlers in the past"

Why? Farmers plant, sow and reap as the weather and soil conditions dictate. Some years, spring is early and warm - other years it's cold and late. I don't believe that stone circles, lunar and solar observations had any practical use whatsoever other than to give the appearance that the priests were essential to ensure good harvests and returning summers.
