The Long Man lies on the north-facing scarp slope of Windover Hill in East Sussex. He stands holding a long staff in each hand. The western staff is 72 metres long and there is a distance of over 30 metres between the two staff. Until 1873 the figure was reported as a faint indentation in the turf, visible only in low sunlight. In 1873-74 the outline was marked out in bricks. In 1969 these were replaced with pre-cast concrete blocks which still delineate the figure.
