| Whitehorse Hill above Uffington. In second picture, 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. |

||||
| First picture: View to the west from just below the white horse. The hollow below is known as The Manger. Second picture: View to the north from just below the white horse - showing mound: This very large circular mound is probably the motte of a motte and bailey castle. |
