I'm going to have to go away and do some re-reading, because I can't remember what Burl says (if anything) with regard to the Cork 5-stone stone circles. I know of one with an axe like hollow in one of the stones (which actually looks natural, but still could have been the reason it was chosen), however, most are 2m in diameter and their constant axial alignment is most definitely ritual. This is in a copper-rich area and so could be trading points for copper, and presumably they were built by people who knew about copper and bronze. When people know that magic would they belong to an 'axe cult'?
Actually, writing that has just made me realise what I don't like about all this. It's the 'axe cult' brigade ...
(I know you weren't necessarily promoting this by the way)
