king arthur’s hall, bodmin. a rectangular embankment measuring 47m x 20m (johnson and rose) (48 x 21 barnett) with its wide earthen sides has an entrance at its south west corner. its sunken interior interior is lined with 56 standing stones (burl, barnatt) and has strong affinities with crucuno in brittany (j&r) barnett states the stones vary height between small to head height, set on the inner edge of a steep sided bank between 3.5m and 6m wide, and 2m high. he thinks there were about 140 stone originally surrounding a central dished area which often contains a pool of water. there is no sign of a external ditch and the embankment was therefore possibly supplied from its centre. it was first recorded by norden in 1584, suggesting is was by then already an ancient structure. he suggest a possible relation with neolithic mortuary enclosures known in southern england or a variant form of henge; similar to those at lios and other sites in ireland or to meini gwyr in southwest wales all having stones set on the inner edge of a large bank. several having scooped interiors. (barnett) a more closer association might be made with the stripple stones some 1.75 miles away to the south east, which although circular in form has an embankment and inner stones arranged around a central stone. the closest part of brittany to this part on cornwall is the cronin peninsular where several rectangular stone structures stand- lanveoc, its sides cardinally aligned east-west and it’s possible polar and equinoctial orientations, ty ar e’hure, the curates house nr morgat, with its alignment with mid summer and mid winter sunrises. it is unlikely to be co-incidental that the extremely rare english rectangle on bodmin moor is situated where it is and is also cardinally aligned north-south (burl) crucuno, plouharnel is a symmetrical rectangle, 33.2m x 24.9m, and arranged extremely precisely and oriented east-west toward the equinoctial sunsets it’s diagonal also aligning the mid summer and mid winter sunsets. burl also relates this site with king arthur’s hall as well as the four stations at stonehenge with its sides and diagonals associated with solar and lunar events.
