King Arthur's Round Table, Neolithic henge in Eamont Bridge, England
The earthwork consists of a circular platform measuring 50 meters in diameter, surrounded by a deep ditch and an outer bank reaching 90 meters across.
Construction of this prehistoric monument dates back to approximately 2000 BCE, during a period of substantial ceremonial building activity in northern Britain.
Local folklore connected this ancient henge to Arthurian legends, with residents naming it after the mythical king's gathering place for knights.
