I think that it makes a great ceremonial site. Folks can scramble onto the three rings in terms of their status.
Leaders and elders make the inner rings, men on the middle ring and women and children on the outer ring. Anyone with something to say can work his or her way into the center and from there address the whole community.
Also note that the land itself has been divided up using stone fences as well, so hauling stone came with the territory and making use of it makes sense.

the Sea of Galilee has stumped experts. An ancient monument comprised of
enormous stone circles dating to the Early Bronze Age remains a mystery
to this day. No one knows who created the stone rings in the form of a
wheel, nor why.

The impressive ancient ruins, located in the Golan Heights (a
contested region claimed by both Israel and Syria) are a wheel-like
design of enormous piled rocks—an estimated 40,000 tons of black
basalt—stacked into at least five concentric rings, with a central
burial cairn at its center, according to news website Haaretz.
