Whitehorse Hill above Uffington
Closer view of the ancient white horse
(really needs to be seen from the air - could the ancients fly?) It is the only undoubted prehistoric hill figure in England. ... Probably cut in C1 and may have served as a tribal emblem.
View to west from just below white
horse. The hollow below is known as The Manger.
View to north from just below white
horse - showing mound: This very large circular mound is probably the
motte of a motte and bailey castle.
