Some arguments say that the real Camelot was in the 15C. and continued to rage today in ppular works and for tourism purposes. (There's also a Camelot theme park). Its first meantioned in Chretien de Troyes' poem Lancelot, the Knight of the Cart dating to the 1170s. Chretien believed Arthur's chief court was in Caerleon in Wales.
13 C. popularized Camelot.
Yet, it was also said that the image of Camelot was created by Thomas Malory in the 15 C.
English historians of the institutions study of the Roman Empire and the sub-Roman Britain suggests The Age of Arthur that of descendants of Romanized Britons looked back to a golden age of peace and harmony under Rome. ----Some claim that it never exsisted at all!
Its name may bave been taken from Roman Camulodunum = king "Fort of Camulos" - an ancient British war-god. Also to have been noted as Cadbury Castle for Arthur. Excavations between 1966 and 1970 confirm that it was refortified in the King Arthur era and was used by a powerful leader and followers of his.
LESS SUBSTANTIAL CLAIMS
Tennyson's description in 'The Lady of Shalott' as 'many tower's Camelot' is more complex sites that include to be Camelot are:
Cadbury Castle

Camelot's more complex. In Tennyson's 'Gareth and Ldylls' in there of the king where it is describes a city built to music.
Excavation of 1966-1970 showed a confirm values of Camelot.
"Camelot was never meant to be a consillation. A consitllation is perminent. .. Camelot was meant to be a brief sojourn of earth, to give us a glimpse of what mankind could aspire to. It set an example for us. ... The concepts and ideals established by King Arthur's Round Table were remembered in the hearts of men long after Camelot was no more."
