	Tintagel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Situated on the north Atlantic coast of Cornwall, the village of Tintagel (pronounced /tɪn'tædʒl̩/ with the stress on the second syllable; Cornish: Dintagell) and nearby Tintagel Castle are associated with the legends surrounding King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table.
		Tintagel is also used as a locus for the Arthurian mythos by the poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson in the poem Idylls of the King.
		The coastline around Tintagel is significant because it is composed of old Devonian slate; about a mile southwards from Tintagel towards Treknow the coastline was quarried extensively for this hard-wearing roofing surface.

	A new interpretation of the Artognou stone, Tintagel
		These investigations confirmed the growing perception that Tintagel had been a major economic and political centre, illustrated best by the view that it were the Dumnonian kings that controlled an international trade-network from the Mediterranean up the Bristol Channel and the Irish Sea.
		In this view, Tintagel was not a remote place, far from the dark Age British kingdoms, but a well-known trade-centre and an important destination for Dark Age shipping.
		However, since the wealth of Mediterranean finds discovered at Tintagel is not found at other sites in the West Country, we may be forced to look upon Tintagel differently, not as the capital of a western province, but as the central capital of a larger, sea-oriented kingdom.
