Abstract Geologists and archaeologists have long known that the bluestones of Stonehenge came from the Preseli Hills of west Wales, 230km away, but only recently have some of their exact geological sources been identified. Two of these quarries—Carn Goedog and Craig Rhos-y-felin—have now been excavated to reveal evidence of megalith quarrying around 3000 BC—the same period as the first stage of the construction of Stonehenge. The authors present evidence for the extraction of the stone pillars…

Origins of the sarsen megaliths at Stonehenge
TLDR
Geochemical data is used to show that 50 of the 52 sarsens at the monument share a consistent chemistry and, by inference, originated from a common source area, and identifies West Woods, Wiltshire, 25 km north of Stonehenge, as the most probable source area.
