A new survey revealed the site was previously listed as dating back to the medieval period but it thought to be 4,000 years older.
The site has been linked to King Arthur but it is older than it seems We could finally have a breakthrough in the legend of King Arthur. A site on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, which has long been linked to the medieval folk hero, could be five times older than previously thought. Archeologists at a dig at King Arthur’s Hall have revealed the monument is actually 5,500 years old and from the Neolithic period.
It is thought that the person who the myth was based on was actually a high ranking military general in the Roman army. However, the legendary British king appears in a range of mediaeval romances, with his band of knights around the Round Table.
