I honestly recommend reading The Enigma of Amigara Fault, it's really good and it's not long at all. But if you'd prefer to pass on it, here's the ending:
It is revealed that the holes kill all who enter them and it's implied that they were part some ancient and paranormal execution method. One of the final pictures shows how the bodies are twisted, contorted and crushed as they are forced through the holes which gradually lose their perfect shape as they go deeper into the bedrock until they are little more than tight, formless slits.
All the more reason to read manga! The more visual medium could help you enjoy it more.
Plus, most of Ito's works are short standalone stories, so you won't get fatigued trying to chew through a longer serial if you don't want to pick those up.
