King Arthur's Hall (Bodmin Moor)
King Arthur's Hall ( German King Arthur's Hall ) is a rectangular, megalithic enclosure at St Breward on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall in England . It is believed that it is a late Neolithic or early Bronze Age place of worship.
The enclosure measures around 20.0 × 47.0 m and consists of 56 stones that are arranged as a rectangle in a concentric earthwork . In the absence of archaeological finds, their age and use are speculative. A similar housing in Brittany is a Bronze Age cremation site, but a similar construction on Lough Gur in Irelandindicates a Neolithic date. Investigations of King Arthur's Hall were conducted in 2013-14. The work revealed a cladding that was erected to preserve the inside of the wall. It was found that earth had slipped over time, burying around 140 previously upright stones that are now lying or standing at an angle. The structure may originally have been a water-filled area for ritual use.
There are many burial mounds, hut and stone circles of Emblance Downs, as well as stone boxes in the area .
