It indeed seems more like evidence in favour of a long-held theory.
Also though, as the OP says:
> It is already known that the smaller bluestones that were first used to build Stonehenge were transported from 150 miles (240 km) away in modern-day Pembrokeshire.

I don't live in Wales but have definitely heard that before too, the discovery seems to be about larger ones and that they were previously erected (not just mined) in (what is now) Pembrokeshire. Is it definitely that that he thought to be common knowledge, not just that the stones were taken from the region?
I asked him just now and he said he thought it was known that the stones were taken from the stone circle there not just mined there. He hangs out with a lot of alternative types there, who are interested in that sort of thing.
