Even if you were to argue that the Green Man is too modern for TMA (which I wouldn't) it's a ritual re-use of a site that falls well within the prehistoric period. I reckon it's 100% relevant because it shows continuity of use, but that's just my opinion.
The photo itself is excellent as well. It gives a real feel of what the ritual is like (I'd imagine - I've not seen it for real). It's a shame that so many of the rituals that once surrounded specific sites have been lost relatively recently. Even secular events like the festival at Uffington Castle have all but vanished. 'Tis a shame.
