You can keep Stonehenge â its Welsh birthplace is where the real magic lies Save Follow Archaeologist Mike Parker Pearsonâs claim that he had unearthed the original site of Stonehenge in the wild hinterland of West Wales in the recent BBC documentary Stonehenge: The Lost Circle Revealed wowed the world, but probably came as little surprise to those in his inner circle. For centuries, experts have speculated and hypothesized that the 5,000-year-old monument hailed from Pembrokeshireâs Preseli Hills â a place few had heard of let alone visited. But the dig at Waun Mawn provided the missing link. Pearson knew that he had struck gold when he found evidence including a hole from a rock that matched the cross-section of a Stonehenge bluestone âlike a key in a lockâ. ....
17 February 2021 Professor Mike Parker Pearson (UCL Institute of Archaeology) discusses his research which has found a dismantled stone circle in west Wales which was moved to Salisbury Plain and rebuilt as Stonehenge.

A Stonehenge of migrants, of people who gathered together to erect remarkable structures.’ A still from the BBC documentary Stonehenge: The Lost Circle Revealed Photograph: Adam Stanford/Aerial-Cam/BBC/PA Connections between the great neolithic monument of Stonehenge and the hills of west Wales have been observed for centuries. Daniel Defoe, writing in the early 18th century about a stone circle in Pembrokeshire, remarked that it was “very like Stone-henge in Wiltshire”. In 1923, the geologist HH Thomas established beyond doubt that the monument’s smaller, slimmer, inner stones – not to be confused with the heftier outer sarsens with their great lintels – originated in the Welsh Preseli Hills. And 70 years ago, in A Land, her tough-minded, lyrical book about the geology and archaeology of Britain, Jacquetta Hawkes speculated that the bluestones “w ....
