aerial photographs of the Long Man of Wilmington on Windover Hill East Sussex England UK. The exact origins of the Long Man of Wilmington geoglyph are unknown, however it was depicted in a survey drawing dated 1710 so it was known to exist then. It was long thought to date from the bronze age due to the adjacent bronze age burial mounds, however recent scientific examination suggests that it may have been created around the 16th or 17th Century.
