Archaeologists date King Arthur's Hall in Cornwall to 5,500-5,000 years ago, much earlier than thought.

Archaeologists have revealed that King Arthur's Hall on Bodmin Moor, Cornwall, is approximately 4,000 years older than previously thought, dating back to the Middle Neolithic Period, around 5,500 to 5,000 years ago. Initially believed to be a medieval cattle enclosure, the site features 56 standing stones and lacks parallels in Britain or Europe. Its original purpose is unclear, with theories suggesting it may have served as a communal gathering space. The site is now classified as "at risk" due to erosion.
