Welsh Stonehenge quarries identified in Pembrokeshire

Two quarries in Pembrokeshire have been identified as the source of some of the rocks at Stonehenge.

Geologists have known the bluestones, which form Stonehenge's inner ring, came from the Preseli Hills since the 1920s.

But following excavations, a team of archaeologists and geologists confirmed the stones came from outcrops at Carn Goedog and Craig Rhos-y-felin.

The research has been published in archaeological journal Antiquity.
