King Arthur's Round Table is a Neolithic henge monument located near Eamont Bridge in Westmorland, Cumbria. The site comprises a circular earthwork with an internal diameter of approximately 90 metres, defined by a substantial bank and ditch, and originally featured two entrance gaps on opposite sides. Dating to the Neolithic period, the monument is among the later henges constructed in Britain, with radiocarbon evidence suggesting construction around 3000 to 2500 BCE. Despite its popular name, the monument has no historical connection to King Arthur; the name reflects later medieval folklore associations with Arthurian legend that became attached to the site.
