Walking northwards from the end of the roadway out into Bodmin Moor near Leaze waterworks, King Arthur’s Hall can be seen as a dark, raised feature, fenced in on the skyline. It is a strange thing, being basically a rectangular earthwork, 50 metres by 20 on a north south axis. Inside, the embankments are lined with stone slabs, set as if to hold them up and make a distinct edge, although there are many gaps, and many of the stones are leaning or fallen. The inside of the enclosure is featureless and marshy, even though it is positioned on the top of a ridge, and even in the driest of weather. It reminds me of a stone age reservoir !
An ancient trackway crosses the moor near here, and there are a couple of standing stones nearby, which no doubt are to mark the route of this track.
