He did make mistakes , we all do and he was a brilliant engineer , the problem is his interpretation .
Anyone can claim that a spot particularly if it has a monument , is aligned to some astronomical event but to prove it it was intentional by the builders is a different story . Newgrange fits the bill because it has a passage which is much more salient than a single stone , Stonehenge avenue is another .
