Brecon Beacons, Wales, UK, Thursday 27 June 2013 Pictured: The Maen Llia Bronze Age stone which has been vandalised. Re: Vandals who daubed a Bronze Age stone in the Brecon Beacons National Park with a smiley face have been criticised. The (12ft) Maen Llia standing stone is recognised as a site of national archaeological importance. It is likely that the stone was erected in the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age between 2500 and 1800BC. The graffiti is being removed from the stone which is situated between Heol Senni and Ystradfellte. Credit: D Legakis/Alamy Live News
