Stonehenge mystery CRACKED: Archeologists unearth stones’ EXACT quarry

“We’re now looking to find out just what was so special about the Preseli hills 5,000 years ago, and whether there were any important stone circles here, built before the bluestones were moved to Stonehenge.”

The researchers matched the chemical makeup of Stonehenge’s bluestones with that of rocks found at two quarries across the Preseli hills.

The largest quarry was almost 180 miles away from Stonehenge on the outcrop of Carn Goedog, on the north slope of the Preseli hills.

“At least five of Stonehenge’s bluestones, and probably more, came from Carn Goedog,” said Dr Richard Bevins, an expert at the National Museum of Wales.
