King Arthurs Round Table

King Arthur’s Round Table is a prehistoric earthwork located near Penrith in Cumbria. Despite its legendary name, it dates back to the Neolithic period, around 2000 BC, and is not directly connected to King Arthur. The site is a henge monument, consisting of a circular bank and ditch that once enclosed a ceremonial space. Over time, parts of it were altered by road construction, but its form remains visible. It likely served ritual or social purposes for ancient communities. Today, it is an important archaeological site, attracting visitors interested in prehistoric Britain and local folklore.
