A few ancient civilizations had methods of predicting the occurrence of solar and lunar eclipses. The most famous is Stonehenge, an astronomical observatory in England.

Eclipses are mathematically predictable; if you know the patterns of past eclipses, you can anticipate the next one. Today, we use elaborate computer models to calculate the time and location of future eclipses, but manual calculation techniques in antiquity still provided adequate accuracy for predictions.
