phw [wwh] - Uffington [5 of 7]

Looking down onto Dragon Hill - that flat top is man-made. It was probably levelled by the Dobunni, a local Celtic tribe, and used for ceremonial purposes as there is evidence of fires and ritual on the top.

[3] The HFF is to keep sheep and visitors off the Uffington Horse, the head is on the edge of my image.

This sent me on a fascinating research on both landmarks ... Very intriguing! i was particularly interested to discover the incredibly long standing tradition of the "Scouring of the Horse".

Belated HFF!
