Yes, I started a section on Brigantesnation for hill figures and really drew a blank except Uffington.

However, what I would like to say is, the vale of the white horse, and white horse cliff up here at Sutton Bank near Thirsk were called that long before the hill figure was carved. Yet there were poems about the white horse and notable antiquaries were commenting on how the cliff naturally looked like a white horse. Could it be the site of earlier works? If so, does it being covered up by the modern horse mean we will never look?

I found a reference in a "Bogg" book about there being seven stones originally at the Devils Arrows.
