Maen Llia is a standing stone which sits on moorland at grid reference SN924192 in the Brecon Beacons National Park in Powys, Wales. The stone which is a large piece of intraformational conglomerate from the Old Red Sandstone measures 3.7 m (12 ft) high by 2.8 m (9 ft) wide by 0.6 m (2 ft). It is roughly diamond-shaped and is partly moss-covered. Its age and original purpose are unknown though it is thought to date from the Bronze Age. It is a popular tourist attraction, lying just 30 yards off a minor road running north from the village of Ystradfellte in the Waterfall Country towards the hamlet of Heol Senni and Brecon, the county town of Brecknockshire.

  • Der Maen Llia [mai̯n ɬia] steht zwischen dem Brecon-Beacons-Nationalpark und den Hügeln der Black Mountains südlich von Sennybridge, in Powys, in Wales. Maen Llia ist ein sehr großer, über 3,7 m hoher, knapp 3,0 m breiter und 60 bis 75 Zentimeter dicker Menhir aus Konglomerat, der eine gewisse Ähnlichkeit mit einem steinzeitlichen Faustkeil hat. Er stammt aus der Jungstein- oder der Bronzezeit. Es muss ein wichtiger Übergang zwischen den Hügeln gewesen sein, denn die Römer bauten rund 3000 Jahre später die Straße „Sarn Helen“ direkt am Stein vorbei, und die aktuelle Straße folgt noch in einem Teilabschnitt dem alten Verlauf. In den 1940er Jahren waren noch einige schwache Inschriften in Latein und Ogam auf dem Stein sichtbar. Nach einer auf den Britischen Inseln vielfach überlieferten Legende von „trinkenden Menhiren“ klettert auch der „Maen Llia“ den Berg hinab, um jeden Morgen, wenn der Hahn kräht, aus dem Fluss Nedd zu trinken.

  • Maen Llia is a standing stone which sits on moorland at grid reference SN924192 in the Brecon Beacons National Park in Powys, Wales. The stone which is a large piece of intraformational conglomerate from the Old Red Sandstone measures 3.7 m (12 ft) high by 2.8 m (9 ft) wide by 0.6 m (2 ft). It is roughly diamond-shaped and is partly moss-covered. Its age and original purpose are unknown though it is thought to date from the Bronze Age. It is a popular tourist attraction, lying just 30 yards off a minor road running north from the village of Ystradfellte in the Waterfall Country towards the hamlet of Heol Senni and Brecon, the county town of Brecknockshire. There is a low heather-covered henge 200 metres to the southwest. Another significant standing stone, Maen Madoc, lies just off the old Roman road known as Sarn Helen about 2 miles (3.5 km) to the south. Whilst this latter stone bears legible writing, there is none visible on Maen Llia though some faint lettering was reported still to be visible in the mid twentieth century. Legend has it that the stone goes down to the river, the Afon Llia to drink on occasion. This tale seems likely to be an allusion to the fact that its shadow is cast across the moorland as far as the river when the sun is low in the evening sky. The stone is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
