This gigantic earthwork, called the Uffington Horse, is located in Oxfordshire, England, and dates to the Bronze age. Measuring almost four hundred feet long, the figure was created by filling trenches with chalk.

The "horse" is one of many chalk figures scatted across the English countryside. It has been speculated that the horse is possibly a remnant of worship of the Celtic Goddess Epona, or the sun God Belenus. Others note the extended tail and theorize that the "horse" is actually a dragon.
