Ufingtonski bijeli konj

Ufingtonski bijeli konj (engleski: Uffington White Horse) je ime arheološkog lokaliteta na jugoistoku Engleske, koji se danas nalazi u Grofoviji Oxfordshire a nekad u Grofoviji Berkshire.

Karakteristike

To je figura konja duga 110 metara, visoka 40 metara isklesana u krečnjaku na vrhu istoimenog brda.

Pretpostavlja se da je to vapnenačko brdo Downsa zvano Bijeli konj (White Horse) visoko 262 metara koje dominira nad tim čitavim krajem, bila gradina iz željeznog doba, a isklesana figura konja sistem odbrambenih rovova, jedino što je preostalo od te gradine.To brdo leži nedaleko od sela Uffington, nekih tridesetak km jugozapadno od Oxforda, i svega 2.5 km zapadnije od Wantaga.

Od kraja 19. vijeka taj lokalitet je pod zaštitom, pa se svako malo provodi njegovo čišćenje kako nebi zarastao u travu, pa da se figura konja više nevidi.
