Did the prog cover hill figures? Willmington, Cerne Abbas etc?
I'd be interested to know a bit more about the figures of Gog and Magog that were supposedly carved into the hill just beloe the Citadel in Plymouth ("Lost Gods of Albion" P Newman Sutton 1997).
Bristol has the legend of Goram the Giant.
Salisbury has a giant called Christopher - he's in the museum and gets brought out for May processions along with hob nob the obby 'oss (or used to when I was young - don't get back there much these days).

It did gring up both Wilmington and Cerne Abbas but with an hour as always with these programmes and covering the subject worldwide they were 'mentioned' and photographs shown......................I thought that Cerne Abbas has been attributed as much later now.............I could be wrong here (and want to be wrong truthfully)....Nazca and Enoch was re assessed ..............
