Maen Llia
Maen Llia is a large broad standing stone situated in the Brecon Beacons national park.It is thought to date back to the bronze age
It is quite accessible as it can be reached by a short walk from a main
road. The stone is quite imposing and as with most standing stones quite
exposed. Unfortunately the stone has been defaced over the years by
vandals. Some of the graffitti is quite old dating back to the 19th
Century. Despite it's width the stone is quite slim as you can see from
the photo below.
The base of the stone is badly weathered and in wet weather the stone is
surrounded by a fairly deep puddle. If you are going to visit the stone
please be careful to not cause further erosion. The stone is fairly easy
to find as it is off the XXXX. Be warned though some older OS maps show
the stone on the wrong side of the road. The correct OS reference is SN
924192.
