- Cover photo description:
- A short distance from the minor road leading from Ystradfellte to Heol Senni, the massive monolith of Maen Llia stands on the moorland in a magnificent and spot in the Brecon Beacon National Park. It is a large diamond-shaped slab of conglomerate, 3.7m & x28;12ft& x29; high and 2.8m & x28;9ft& x29; wide and only 0.6m & x28;2ft& x29; thick. It is likely that a quarter to a third of the stone is below ground, so it has managed to stand up to thousands of years of wild Welsh weather. Â Â Â Â It lies at the junction of two valleys and its visibility from some distance suggests that it could possibly be a territorial marker or it could mark an ancient trackway, guiding travellers across the watershed, in a way similar to the stone north of Maen Mawr circle. In the Forties, some faint Latin and Ogam inscriptions were still visible on the stone& x27;s surface.
