(2004-04-18) | Which site is this anyone? Mayburgh Henge and King Arthur's Round Table perhaps? | AngieLake
(2004-04-18) | Andy, they have the same picture on the notice board at the site. I took a photo of it in 2002. | Andy B
(2004-04-18) | I thought it was. Funny there are no stones shown in the henge on the left, as there must have been more there at the time. | fitzcoraldo
(2004-04-20) | The two henges shown are King Arthur's Round Table and the little known third henge known as The Little Round Table. The Little Table was partialy destroyed when the Lowther Gatehouse was built but traces of the bank can still be seen. |
