King Arthur's Round Table Monument is an intriguing historical earthwork located just outside the village of Eamont Bridge, near Penrith in the English county of Cumbria.
Despite its name, which strongly refers to the legendary tales of King Arthur, the monument is actually a prehistoric Henge from the late Stone Age or early Bronze Age. The site consists of a large circular platform surrounded by a wide ditch and an upstanding earth bank. Archaeologists suspect that the site was used by prehistoric communities for ritual gatherings, ceremonial feasts, or trading arrangements.
