ancient druids' knowledge of astronomy?

What is known of the ancient druids' knowledge of
astronomy? And that of the peoples that preceded
them in the British Isles, e.g. those responsible
for Stonehenge and other stone circles?

And do modern druid organizations require their
members to have some degree of astronomical knowledge?

Until recently nothing was known about the builders of Stonehenge etc,
but recent discoveries suggest that they were used for solstice
ceremonies to which people came from a wide area with the ashes of their
ancestors. In the Bronze Age society became more localized, and in the
Iron age there were more changes. Modern druids? They know sweet FA
about history, so perhaps astronomy would be a bit of a stretch.
