We had a little chat about this nearly 10 years ago! http://www.headheritage.co.uk/headtohead/tma/topic/23601/threaded/266441

As I mentioned there, I have a pepperpot henge in my bay window that acts as a pretty good calendar, but it has come to me that by far the best way to track sunrises is the horizon itself and features on it. You don't need sticks or stones or any form of sighting system as it's very accurate and error proof - you don't even need to stand in a particular spot.

So I'd say alignments to sunrises are mainly symbolic, not "useful".
