King Arthur's Hall is a Neolithic henge monument situated near Pendragon Castle in the parish of St Columb Major, Cornwall. The site comprises two concentric circles of standing stones arranged in an oval plan, enclosing an area of approximately 20 metres by 15 metres. Radiocarbon dating and archaeological evidence suggest construction during the Neolithic period, likely around 3000 BCE or later, though the precise chronology remains debated among scholars. The monument's popular association with Arthurian legend reflects later folklore rather than historical documentation, though the site has long held significance in local tradition and remains a notable example of Cornish prehistoric stone circles.
