Tintagel Wikipedia
January 23, 2024Rodney Castleden has written about these as Bronze Age ritual objects.[24] “King Arthur’s Footprint” is a hole within the rock on the highest level of Tintagel Island’s southern side. It is not completely pure, having been formed by human palms at some stage.[25] It might have been used for the inauguration of kings or chieftains as the site is known to have a protracted historical past stretching back to the Dark Ages. There was a Norman chapel of St Julitta on the citadel, now in ruins, which was excavated in Ralegh Radford’s excavations. It is a simple rectangular building and the chancel is of a later date than the nave. A small cliff castle was established at Bossiney in Norman instances, in all probability earlier than the Domesday Survey of 1086. In Domesday Book, there are certainly two manors in this parish (for a probable third see Trethevy).
