An analysis on soil at an ancient site in the UK has found construction isn't likely to be medieval after all.

The new estimate suggests King Arthur's Hall, in Cornwall , is in fact 5,500 years old .

That makes the rectangular bank of earth and stone five times older than an earlier assessment.

It shifts the date of the structure back to the Neolithic , and may necessitate a name change.
