Re: King Arthur's Hall by AngieLake on Sunday, 17 July 2005

King Arthur's Hall is referred to as a possible Neolithic mortuary enclosure in Rodney Castleden's book 'Britain 3000 BC'.
He shows a diagram of the site in Chapter 8 - 'The Castles of Eternity'.
Quote, an excerpt from one paragraph:
"Often in southern England mortuary enclosures were rectangular and bounded by fences, ditches or banks, to mark them out as special taboo places, though with the cawing of carrion and the strong smell of decaying flesh people would scarcely have needed warning off. Some of the enclosures had structures within them, such as rectangular mortuary houses or raised platforms for sky-burials, sometimes hung with ox-hides, and entrances embellished with arcs of totem poles."

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
