Situated on the moorlands of Fforest Fawr Unesco Global Geopark, the Maen Llia standing stone is more than 3.5 metres tall and nearly 3 metres wide. Estimated to be erected between 2300 – 800 BCE, Maen Llia is one of many bronze age sites located across the park.
Steeped in legend, Maen Llia’s exact purpose and function is not known although there are many different suggestions and interpretations. One tale of Maen Llia says that the stone sometimes travels to the river to drink – this legend may come from the long shadow cast from the stone which reaches the river when the sun is close to the horizon ☀️🪨
