The figure of the White Horse Huffington has been shown to date back some 3,000 years, to the Bronze Age, by means of optically stimulated luminescence dating carried out following archaeological investigations in 1994. These studies produced three dates ranging between 1400 and 600 BC. Iron Age coins that bear a representation comparable to the Uffington White Horse have been found, supporting the early dating of this artifact

Gigantotomy is the art of carving human-shaped hill figures, gigantic figures visible in chalk or other light-coloured material. Located in upland areas of England, they are traditionally created by removing a layer of soil and turf so that the underlying layer of bright chalk is visible as a type of geoglyph designed to be seen from afar as a human figure. More recently, gigantotomers have applied other techniques to make the figures visible, including simply painting atop the grass for a similar, though far more temporary, effect. While presumed to be of prehistoric origin, surviving examples may have been created only within the last four hundred years.
