Those medieval monks would have kept a load of sheep - and they do make tracks. Wavy ones usually. On the cultivation terrace argument - I don't think Neolithic farmers were particularly clued up to pointing a terrace toward the south, as we would today. A stone row, yes, a field of barley, possibly not.

The farming terrace theory generally assumes the medieval period as the time of construction. Neolithic people didn't do strip-lynchets, did they? And even if they did, I doubt they'd do it on a landscape that so obviously lends itself to the sacred.
