Most of these have been dated to the Younger Dryas period when they were used as refuges from the cosmic bombardments that triggered the abrupt climate changes and mass fauna extinctions.
As in 115k BC, adding the zero back to Plato's date of the Atlantis destruction? Back when the Sahara was lush and watery, sea levels were higher, as Earth had no ice, even at the poles? That makes sense. Somebody survived it.
The Roman historian Tacitus writes in his Germania "They are likewise wont to scoop caves deep in the ground, and over them to lay great heaps of dung. Thither they retire for shelter in the winter, and thither convey their grain: for by such close places they mollify the rigorous and excessive cold." (from translation on gutenberg.org).
I'd say just about every prominent ancient place or feature that would have required years/decades of laborious effort (e.g., Roman aqueducts and roads, etc.), or anything NOT mentioned in the works of the dubious ancient historians, ...WOULD BE PRE-ICE AGE. Otherwise, more would be known about them.

Pretty obviously ritual birth re-enactment sites. Initiatory in nature most likely.
