As you can see from the pic, the archaeos consider it an "offering table."
There are 33 small holes plus 1 larger hole on it's rim. An usual number 33, it equates to the precise number of years that the sun will at the exactly the same point on the horizon.
Coincidence?

One picture taken of a 3D model conceived during a wet weekend. Projects like this can reveal previously unseen features.
