About
King Arthur's Round Table is a prehistoric earthwork beside Eamont Bridge, with a low central platform enclosed by a ditch and bank. Despite its later name, the monument belongs to the Neolithic period, long before medieval stories of Arthur and his knights. A road has cut through part of the original enclosure, and excavations found evidence that standing stones once marked one entrance. Its purpose remains uncertain, although gatherings and ceremonies are possible explanations. Visitors find the information board useful for understanding what can otherwise look like an ordinary field, and often combine this short stop with nearby Mayburgh Henge. Eden Rivers Trust's Brougham and Eamont Bridge walk links both henges with riverside paths and historic buildings. Expect gates, steps and busy road crossings; dogs on leads are welcome at the henge only when livestock is absent.
