Stonehenge Likely Built With Stones And a Design Taken From an Ancient Welsh Monument AFP 12 FEBRUARY 2021 Remains of an ancient monument in west Wales indicate stones that stood at the site may have been dismantled and used to build the Neolithic standing circle Stonehenge, a new study suggested Friday.
Researchers believe some stones used at Stonehenge, near Salisbury in southwest England, were used in an earlier monument 175 miles (280 kilometres) away in southwest Wales. The team behind the discovery from University College London (UCL) said there were key elements linking Stonehenge, built in 3000 BCE, with the earlier stone circle named Waun Mawn.
