Thanks for that. Do you have any thoughts as to why it might have been important to mark the time of solar noon?

Not specifically as yet, although I've been musing on the possibility that the Sun's rays through the capstone aperture might have enabled them to track the Analemmic and thereby reveal the Earth's axial wobble. This would require some kind of marks being made regularly at the same time each day.
