Is there any truth to the legend of King Arthur? Archaeologist Leslie Alcock, a charismatic figure, led an excavation in the 1960s in Somerset, aiming to prove Camelot's existence. Despite challenges and doubts from academics, Alcock's team discovered evidence of fortifications at Cadbury Hill, suggesting a Dark Age castle. While Alcock's work faced criticism, his legacy includes advancing understanding of Dark Age Britain and inspiring future archaeologists.
