The site manger was saying this on Monday. Yet when we pressed him he admitted that it could not be proved that something had not been on the site for a lot longer.

Combine that with the alignment of a large round AND long barrow on the hill above with the figure (The long barrow addresses it arguably) and you have evidence for something having been on the side of the hill a long time ago.

And it is still called a "scheduled ancient monument"



You can't prove a negative . You don't get antiquity by symbiosis .What period do you believe the figures dates from ?
"Scheduled ancient monument" is not a signifier of age e.g. some WW11 Pillboxes .
