Bones found at Stonehenge belonged to people from Wales

Tests show 5,000-year-old remains found at the world heritage site came from more than
100 miles away in west Wales

Stonehenge, England, UK
The bones of people buried at Stonehenge, who died and were cremated about 5,000
years ago, have given up their secrets: […] they came from west Wales , near the Preseli
Hills where the stones were quarried.

The remains of at least 10 of 25 individuals showed that they came from more than 100
miles away. Examination of the remains showed the most likely origin of at least some
of these people was a region that includes west Wales.
