Editing King Arthur's Round Table (section)

==Description==
King Arthur's Round Table is a henge situated in a field next to the [[A6 road (England)|A6 road]] in the village of [[Eamont Bridge]], south of [[Penrith, Cumbria]]. The northern part of the henge is now covered by the B5320 road and the Crown Hotel, while the A6 road has encroached on the eastern part. The larger [[Mayburgh Henge]] is just 400 metres to the west, and the fragments of the Little Round Table henge are 200 metres to the south. This indicates the presence of a henge complex and possible [[ritual landscape]] similar to those at [[Thornborough Henge|Thornborough]] or [[Stonehenge, Avebury and Associated Sites|Salisbury Plain]].

The henge is around 90 metres in diameter. The enclosed area is about 50 metres across; the ditch has a maximum width of 16 metres; the [[berm]] 7 metres; and the bank 13 metres.<ref name="pastscape1">{{PastScape|mnumber=11978 |mname=KING ARTHURS ROUND TABLE|accessdate= 25 November 2013}}</ref> There appears to have been two original entrances, but only the south-east entrance survives as the northwest entrance has been mostly destroyed by the modern road.<ref name="pastscape1"/> Parts of the henge were landscaped in the late 18th to early 19th century, apparently with an intent to use the site as a tea garden.<ref name="pastscape1"/> The site is in the care of [[English Heritage]] and open to the public.
