Read MoreArchaeologists believe, based on sound geological data, that some of the bluestones at Stonehenge were quarried here in a remote Pembrokeshire valley. The place is called Rhos-y-felin. You won't find it easily on a map but it is located near Brynberian, a few miles up river from Newport, and about a mile from the famous neolithic dolmen of Pentre Ifan. The distance to Stonehenge is over 200 kilometres and the bluestones at Stonehenge weigh 3-4 tons each. For neolithic people to have transported these stones is a wondrous feat. The wheel was not in use in Britain and there were no roads. The tools they used were of stone and bone - metal would not be used for several hundred years yet.
