The Mysterious 'King Arthur's Hall' is 4k years older than believed


The site may have been a prehistoric gathering site rather than a medieval pen.

The new findings push the timeline back by millennia, suggesting that the structure was built by early farming communities who were beginning to settle the rugged landscapes of southwest England. Further investigations revealed that the ancient builders had dug through the earth of Bodmin Moor to reach the granite beneath, piling it up into ramparts and encasing the structure with standing stones. “The Middle Ages was a period when the Arthur name starts being attributed to all sorts of unusual sites that the local population at the time probably didn’t understand,” Gossip noted.
