Roy, you really need to get the Stripple stones henge very nearby, as i'm sure it will give you a better understanding of King arthur's hall, apart from the shapes they are very similar, and it may have been a case of "they've got a circle, we'll have a rectangle", I imagine the builders of King Arthur's Hall came from France, because in Brittany it wouldn't be out of place at all, the circle henges are all connected and a route may have gone all the way to stonehenge [and way past] with it's own rectangle [The station stones] and it's other Brittany symbolism.
But it also reminds me a little of Achavanich. (Great U of Stemster)
Very very similar, but a little further away than the stripple stones [this doesn't make your link any less though], they're like places built by people who wanted to build circles but maybe weren't allowed by the "locals", but it was maybe ok to the locals for them to build something similar [just not a circle].
Ha, just a little further!
A Brittany link could well be the case at KAH, but when talking about KAH it's always worth considering Stemster, as its very similar and almost certainly not from the land of the garlic. :)
Don't count your garlic chicken on that, the stone axe trade networks were huge, and jade axes from the alps [they would have been taken first to Brittany] have been found a good few times in scotland, the jade axes and the people who brought them would have been a draw on the way up from monument to monument, a bit like an ancient celebrity - and tonight at the rollrights come and see the jade axe [and some Brittany kings and queens] on it's/their way to the new member of the axe network all the way near the top of the mainland at Stemster.

Sacrebleu!

Obviously we can all push the pieces around til they fit, a lot of people write 'books' that way.
Perhaps they were too busy with their garlic chicken to build any others of similar type on their celeb journey from Cornwall to Caithness!
