Site of Hill Figure at Sun Rising Covert

1 Red Horse marked.
2 The figure of the horse was cut, shortly after 1798, on the flat top of Edge Hill, near the Sunrising Inn, Tysoe, by the innkeeper, when the original Red Horse (PRN 2066) was destroyed. Some attempt was made to maintain the annual scouring festivities at the new site until c1907 but a few years later it was obliterated by the landowner after the closing of an inn. It was still visible until c1920 but is now overgrown by trees.
3 The site is now covered by trees and dense undergrowth; no visual remains were seen.
