crude Incan Refugee Homes or Stone Chamber?




This looks to me like a variation on the Stone Chambers we have around here for observing Solar and Lunar events, but the folks who put out this book feel otherwise....
Below is the text that accompanied this image.

"Ancient buildings found in the tropical forests of   theVilcabamba region are more roughly made than those in most Inca cities. Crude shelters such as this one, now green with lichen and moss, were probably built in haste by Inca refugees who fled to the jungle to escape the Spaniards." p 164  Reader's Digest "The World's Last Mysteries"  The Italics are mine
