Scientists believe they've found the precise source of the rocks used in Stonehenge's first circle.
The rocks are believed to have come from an outcrop in south-west Wales at a site called Craig Rhos-y-Felin, it is the first time any of the stones used in the construction of the 5,000-year-old monument have been traced. What isn't clear however is whether the stones were quarried and brought back to the site or if they were carried there by glaciation.Researchers have been able to match fragments of stone from around the 5,000 year old monument with an outcrop of rock in south-west Wales.
