The Uffington White Horse is a highly stylised prehistoric hill figure, 374 feet (110 m) long, cut into the turf of the upper slopes of White Horse Hill in the English civil parish of Uffington (Oxon, historically Berks). It is located some five miles south of the town of Faringdon and a similar distance west of the town of Wantage. The hill forms a part of the scarp of the Berkshire Downs and overlooks to Vale of White Horse to the north. Best views of the horse are obtained from directly across the Vale, particularly around the villages of Great Coxwell, Longcot and Fernham. The site is owned and managed by the National Trust.

The most significant nearby feature is the Iron Age Uffington Castle, located on higher ground atop a knoll above the White Horse^[3]. This hillfort comprises an area of approximately 3 hectares enclosed by a single, well preseved, bank and ditch.
