Waun Mawn is a megalithic site in the Preseli Mountains of Pembrokeshire, Wales [1]. Following excavations in 2018, it became the site of a supposed dismantled Neolithic stone circle [1]. The site is located around 1 mile to the southwest of Brynberian [1]. During 2017 and 2018, excavations by the UCL team of archaeologist Mike Parker Pearson led to a proposal that the site had originally housed a 110 m diameter stone circle of the same size as the ditch at Stonehenge [1]. Following soil dating of the sediments within the postulated stone holes, via optically stimulated luminescence, it has been argued, by Parker Pearson, that the circle of stones was built c. 3400–3200 BC and then, before 2120 BC, was disassembled, dragged across land and reassembled at Stonehenge in Wiltshire, some 140 mi distant [1].
