'Stonehenge came from Wiltshire', say scientists

So after years of debate and a belief Stonehenge stones came from Wales, with the big puzzle being how 'they' transported it, scientists are now saying that 50 out of the fifty-two stones have been traced to...Wiltshire.

Quote:

Pinning down the source of the large blocks known as sarsens that form the bulk of the monument has proved especially elusive. Now researchers have resolved the mystery: 50 of the 52 extant sarsens at Stonehenge came from the West Woods site in the English county of Wiltshire, located 25 kilometers to the north of Stonehenge. The findings were published on Wednesday in Science Advances.
