King Arthur's Hall is a Neolithic ceremonial monument located near Tintagel in north Cornwall. The site comprises two concentric rectangular stone-built enclosures, aligned roughly north-south, and dates to the Neolithic period, likely constructed sometime between 3500 and 2500 BCE. The monument's purpose remains uncertain, though its formal layout suggests a ceremonial or ritual function, possibly associated with gatherings or communal activities. The name, applied in more recent centuries, reflects local tradition rather than any verified historical connection to Arthurian legend.
