Horse worship is a religious practice that existed in Europe since at least the Bronze Age. The horse was seen as divine, as a sacred animal associated with a particular deity, or as a totem animal impersonating the king or warrior. Horse cults and horse sacrifice were originally a feature of Indo-European culture and spread along with its subsequent expansion, owed in no small part to military horses. While horse worship has been almost exclusively associated with the Indo-European culture area, by the Early Middle Ages it was also adopted by Turko-Mongolic peoples as a result of Indo-European influence. The Uffington White Horse, current dating estimates placing it between 1400 and 600 BCE, is possible evidence of horse worship in the Bronze Age. Iron Age coins that bear a representation of the Uffington White Horse have been found, supporting the early dating of this artifact; suggestions that the figure was fashioned in the Anglo-Saxon period now seem untenable. Numerous other prominent prehistoric sites are located nearby, notably Wayland's Smithy, a long barrow less than two kilometres to the west. Tacitus mentions the use of white horses for divination by the Germanic tribes: ..." onmouseout="mouseOutImage(this, '4', 'FFFFFF')" onmouseover="mousOverImage(this,'HztwHIC0AdI',1, '4','FFCC00')" /> The White Horse...
Uffington Castle iron age hillfort and views of the beautiful surrounding countryside, with music by Alan Stivell. Uffington Castle is all that remains of an early Iron Age (with underlying Bronze Age) hill fort in Oxfordshire, England. It covers about 32000 square metres and is surrounded by two earth banks separated by a ditch with an entrance in the eastern end. A second entrance in the western end was apparently blocked up a few centuries after it was built. Defensive ditch sectionThe original defensive ditch was V-shaped with a small box rampart in front and a larger one behind it. Timber posts stood on the ramparts. Later the ditch was deepened and the extra material dumped on top of the ramparts to increase their size. A parapet wall of sarsen stones lined the top of the innermost rampart. It is very close to the Uffington White Horse. Excavations have indicated that it was probably built in the 7th or 8th century BC and continued to be occupied throughout the Iron Age. Isolated postholes were found inside the fort but no evidence of buildings. Pottery, loom weights and animal bone finds suggest some form of occupation however. The most activity appears to have been during the Roman period as the artefacts recovered from the upper fills of the ditch attest. The ramparts were remodelled to provide more entrances and a shrine seems to have been built in the early fourth century AD. Two oblong mounds, one containing 46 Romano-British burials and one containing 8 Saxon <b>...</b> Uffington castle...

White Horse Hill, Uffington, Oxfordshire. Song: White Horse Hill,...
Uffington Castle sits on the very top of White Horse Hill, just to the south of the White Horse itself. Despite its obvious categorisation as an 'Iron Age Hillfort,' recent excavations have shown that, like the horse and nearby settlements on Ram's Hill (Uffington) and Tower Hill (Ashbury), it was originally constructed in the late Bronze Age, probably in the eighth or seventh century bc. The fort, at this time, consisted of early ramparts with massive timber gates and an associated linear ditch, possibly connected to Hardwell Camp, Wayland's Smithy or a low banked 'pre-hillfort enclosure,' as found at other 'Iron Age' forts in Southern England. There was little evidence, however, for internal Bronze Age occupation. Source:www.berkshirehistory.com Uffington Hill...
