Ebb and flow
CHRISTOPHER HOLLIS
Sir Mortimer Wheeler in an interview has indicated the probability that the discoveries to be unearthed at Cadbury are more likely to be of the reign of Canute than of King Arthur.
Leodogran was King of Cameliard (In later life when he had learnt to spell He came to call it Camelot instead) And on the sacred mount of Camelot King Arthur's dim, rich city, the poet tells, Tower after tower, spire beyond spire, Rose to the mighty hall that Merlin built, Where Arthur and his dedicated Knights Feasted and intermittently drank deep. . . . But in the Observer bold Sir Mortimer, Paying Professor Alcock all respect, Foretells at Camelot that they will find Neither King Arthur nor the Table Round Nor dread Pendragon, Britain's King of Kings, But only some silver pennies and a groat, Minted long afterwards by King Canute. These were all stamped before the tide came in Or Mr Callaghan was Chancellor.
