Either you have or I have! ;o)

I assumed the "mound to the right" to be the one at the foot of the hill - not considered to be part of the monument - but could be wrong!

No, the mound is a spoil heap from the chalk pit just to the west of the Long Man.

Medieval at oldest and NOT a part of the SAM. My favourite bit of industrial archaeology though :)

Well, I knew you wouldn't be wandering all over the monument itself, so wherever it is, is good enough for me! :)
