Craig Rhos-y-felin is a rocky outcrop on the north side of the Preseli Mountains in Wales, which is designated as a RIGS site on the basis of its geological and geomorphological interest. It is accepted by some in the archaeological community that it is the site of a quarry, used together with one at Carn Goedog, for gathering stones used at Stonehenge, most notably as the source of some of the foliated rhyolite found in the Stonehenge "debitage". This is disputed by others, who believe that all of the features at the site, apart from evidence of intermittent occupation over a long period, are of natural origin. Some believe that the site was used as a quarry in both the Neolithic and Bronze Ages, around 4000 to 5000 years ago, and the rock's shape, like a pillar, allowed the stones to be

| - Craig Rhos-y-felin is a rocky outcrop on the north side of the Preseli Mountains in Wales, which is designated as a RIGS site on the basis of its geological and geomorphological interest. It is accepted by some in the archaeological community that it is the site of a quarry, used together with one at Carn Goedog, for gathering stones used at Stonehenge, most notably as the source of some of the foliated rhyolite found in the Stonehenge "debitage". This is disputed by others, who believe that all of the features at the site, apart from evidence of intermittent occupation over a long period, are of natural origin. Some believe that the site was used as a quarry in both the Neolithic and Bronze Ages, around 4000 to 5000 years ago, and the rock's shape, like a pillar, allowed the stones to be quarried with relative ease compared to stones taken from other places. Others argue that if prehistoric men had wanted to obtain monoliths for use as standing stones, all they had to do was collect them from the abundant glacial erratics littering the landscape. Craig Rhos-y-felin was first claimed to be the site of a quarry in 2011. The cited evidence was disputed in two journal articles published in 2015 by Brian John, Dyfed Elis-Gruffydd and John Downes.

- Craig Rhos-y-felin (auch Craig Rhosyfelin oder Pont Saeson rock outcrop genannt) ist ein Aufschluss nahe dem Fluss Afon Bryn Beran, auf der Nordseite der Preseli Hills, in Pembrokeshire in Wales, der aufgrund seines geologischen und geomorphologischen Interesses (Regionally important geological site) als Standort der Bluestones (blauer Dolerit) ausgewiesen wird. Einige Archäologen glauben, dass es sich hier um einen Steinbruch handelt, der zusammen mit Carn Meini Quarry Quelle jener Steine war, die in Stonehenge verwendet werden. Dies ist umstritten, da alle Merkmale am Standort, abgesehen von Hinweisen auf zeitweilige Nutzung über einen langen Zeitraum, natürlichen Ursprungs sind. Craig Rhos-y-felin soll 2011 zum ersten Mal Steinbruch gewesen sein. Die dazu 2015 zitierten Belege (von Brian John, Dyfed Elis-Gruffydd und John Downes) wurden bestritten. (de)
