With walls about three feet thick, a royal palace being unearthed in England is raising eyebrows: Could the palace have some association with the legendary King Arthur? The exploration, run by the Cornwall Archaeological Unit, is taking place at the Tintagel site in Cornwall, England, where they’ve dug trenches to better understand the location’s rich history. The Tintagel site is also the home of famous 13th-century castle ruins. The project has spurred the Telegraph as well as The Sun to point out that the palace’s location is the same as the fabled birthplace of King Arthur. In addition to those thick walls, researchers have also found 150 fragments of glass and pottery that came from distant places, the Telegraph reported— a hint that well-to-do people lived there.
