Maen Llia submitted by Andy B on 28th Jun 2013. Brecon Beacons National Park Authority is seeking to highlight the importance of the National Park’s heritage sites after a Bronze Age standing stone was vandalised, as it was previously in 2002.
At some time over the last few weeks Maen Llia standing stone, a Scheduled Ancient Monument situated between Heol Senni and Ystradfellte, has been defaced, with graffiti daubed on the protected stone.

St Seiriol's Well submitted by AngieLake on 5th Aug 2004. According to the invaluable CADW (Welsh Historical Monuments) booklet, 'Anglesey - A Guide to Ancient Monuments on the Isle of Anglesey' :

Île Carn cairn submitted by theCaptain on 19th Apr 2014. Ile Carn, central and right hand chamber entrances.
Unfortunately, being close up to the carn and it is difficult to get a good full view of the front face. My attempt to stich several pictures have so far failed using ICE, this is the best I could do, so will have to spend ages manually fixing bits together at some time in the future.
