Preseli Hills

Range of hills in Pembrokeshire, southwest Wales, rising to 536 m/1,759 ft (at Foel Cwmcerwyn) and crossed by a primitive trackway. A site of Neolithic settlement, the eastern section of these hills is thought to have provided the bluestone of Stonehenge; this is the only known place in Britain where bluestone is found.
