Archaeologists may have discovered the location of Arthur's round table in Stirling, Scotland.
A circular feature has been identified underneath the mysterious King's Knot at Stirling Castle, an area that has long been linked to the legend of King Arthur. "The finds show that the present mound was created on an older site and throws new light on a tradition that King Arthur's Round Table was located in this vicinity," Historian John Harrison has said.
The King's Knot, a geometrical earthwork in the former royal gardens below Stirling Castle, has been shrouded in mystery for hundreds of years. Though the Knot as it appears today dates from the 1620s, its flat-topped central mound is thought to be much older.
