Lost Gods of Albion: The Chalk Hill-Figures of Britain

While all of the 30 or so chalk hill-figures known in southern England are treated in this book, the focus is on figures from before 1700 whose origins are the subject of conjecture and debate, including the Cerne Giant, the Uffington White Horse, and the Long Man of Wilmington. The author treats the more obscure figures in separate chapters which discuss the site, efforts at preservation, history and interpretation, and the authors views regarding the origins of each figure.
