White horses and Long Men

I watch watching a (taped) programme last night in which the presenter kept mentioning the Battle of Eddington. The key feature was that everytime he mentioned the BoE, the camera panned to a White Horse carved in the chalk above the battlefield.

I've never heard of a white horse at Eddington, but this got me thinking as to how many other Noticeable Landmarks there are, carved into hillsides.

I can think of:-

Regimental Crests, on the way to Compton Abbas
The Long Man of Wilmington (Sussex, not Kent)
A White Horse somewhere in Wiltshire.
A Long Man at Cerne Abbas.

But I'm sure that there are a few more that I don't know of .
