Is it true that Stonehenge's smaller bluestones were quarried in the Preseli Hills of Wales?
Unclear. Multiple reference and peer-reviewed sources indicate that Stonehenge's smaller bluestones were brought from or traced to the Preseli Hills in Wales, with some specifying quarrying or extraction there. However, no single retrieved item fully settles that the smaller bluestones were quarried in the Preseli Hills, as coverage is partial or hedged.
