There's an entire book devoted to the idea that Arthuriana underlies Tolkien's legendarium.

The Epic Realm of Tolkien, Part One: Beren and Luthien (2009) by Alex Lewis and Elizabeth Currie, which is mostly unconvincing (and Lewis and Currie don't help themselves with the mistake mentioned here) though they suggest so many possible connections that a few of them may prove right when the poem is published.
The blurb you cite describes The Fall of Arthur as "previously unknown". That's not entirely true: several lines were quoted in Humphrey Carpenter's biography of Tolkien, and Verlyn Flieger wrote a speculative (?) article about the poem in J.R.R. Tolkien Encyclopedia.
