Long Man of Wilmington

The Long Man of Wilmington is a 72-metre-tall hill figure on Windover Hill near Wilmington, East Sussex, making it Europe's largest portrayal of the human form. The figure holds two staves and is now outlined in concrete blocks installed in 1969. A 2003 archaeological investigation by Professor Martin Bell found compelling evidence dating the figure to the 16th or 17th century, based on soil erosion analysis of Windover Hill's slope. The earliest known depiction is a 1710 sketch by surveyor John Rowley. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, gifted to the Sussex Archaeological Society in 1925.
