White Horse Hill, Uffington UK

Part of the crushed chalk filled trenches that comprise the ancient White Horse on the hill.

There is an image of an ancient horse in the lazy, rolling hills of County Oxfordshire, England.  At 374 feet long it needs to be seen from the air to view its entirety.  It is made of trenches filled with crushed chalk.  Regular cleaning / scouring of the horse is needed otherwise its visibility is compromised.  It has been dated to the Bronze Age (1000 – 700 BC) and there is a record of King Henry II (1100s) visiting it out of interest because it was “an ancient monument”.
