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].
