Carn Menyn, Stone summit in Pembrokeshire, Wales
The Carn Menyn summit rises to 365 meters above sea level with a prominence of 48 meters in the Preseli Hills region.
In the 1920s, geologist HH Thomas confirmed through petrographic analysis that numerous bluestones at Stonehenge originated from this specific location.
The name Carn Menyn translates from Welsh as 'butter rock,' reflecting the local linguistic heritage of Pembrokeshire's geological formations.
Multiple walking routes connect Carn Menyn to nearby peaks including Carn Sian and Foel Drygarn, with detailed paths available on hiking platforms.
The summit features distinctive spotted dolerite formations and offers views extending across the countryside toward Cardigan Bay and the Llŷn Peninsula.
