Arthur's Stone | A Giant's Burial Chamber in Herefordshire, 3700 - 2700 BC | Megalithomania

Join us on Patreon:   / megalithomania  . A visit to a Neolithic burial chamber in Herefordshire, near the Welsh border. It is in the style of the Severn-Cotswold tomb design, similar to Belas Knap in Gloucestershire. It marks a spot where the heroic King Arthur slew a giant, who fell onto the stones and left marks on one of them. Others suggest the indentations on the Quoit Stone were left by Arthur's knees or elbows as he knelt there to pray. The megalithic chamber dates to 3,700 BC – 2,700 BC and is situated overlooking the Golden Valley.
CS Lewis was inspired by the Golden Valley and the Wye Valley particularly when writing his Narnia; the stone table upon which Aslan the Lion is sacrificed is said to be based upon Arthur’s Stone.
