Preseli Hills
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The hills rise to 536 metres above sea level at Foel Cwmcerwyn and are dotted with prehistoric remains, including evidence of Neolithic settlement. In 1923 the petrologist Herbert Henry Thomas identified that bluestone from the hills corresponded to that used to build the inner circle of Stonehenge,[2] and more recent geologists have identified Carn Menyn, sometimes called Carn Meini, as one of the bluestone sources.[3] Others theorise that bluestone from the area was deposited close to Stonehenge by glaciation.[4]
Slate quarrying was once an important industry in the Preseli Hills, and remnants of the quarries can still be seen in Rosebush, Pembrokeshire. There is a workshop at Llangolman where slate is used to make a variety of craft items.
During the Second World War, the UK War Office used the Preseli Hills for training exercises. Its continued use after the war was the subject of protest by Plaid Cymru.
