An early suggestion, sometimes stated to be a local tradition, was that the Long Man had been cut by monks from nearby Wilmington Priory, and represented a pilgrim , but this was not widely believed by antiquarians , who felt that monks were unlikely to have created an unclothed figure. Professor John North wrote that during the centuries around BC the figure would have been positioned to mark the constellation Orion 's movement across the ridge above it.
The figure, according to this interpretation, may have been a manifestation of a Neolithic astral religion. Archaeological work performed in by Professor Martin Bell of the University of Reading , in association with Aubrey Manning 's Open University programme Landscape Mysteries , strongly suggested that the figure dates from the Early Modern period — the 16th or 17th century AD.
Whatever the figure's origin, for much of its history it seems to have existed only as a shadow or indentation in the grass, visible after a light fall of snow or as a different shade of green in summer: it is described or illustrated as such in , , , and The current outline of the Long Man is largely the result of a 'restoration' of , when a group led by the vicar of Glynde , Reverend William de St Croix , marked out the outline with yellow bricks whitewashed and cemented together, though it has been claimed that the restoration process distorted the position of the feet.
The archaeologist John S. In the years after the 'restoration' several people familiar with the figure commented that the feet were altered, having originally both pointed outwards and downwards so that "the Giant appeared to be coming down the hill", in the words of Ann Downs, who had grown up at Wilmington Priory in the s. Castleden, combined with examination of apparent shadow marks shown in early photographs, have provided strong evidence that the feet had in fact pointed outwards as described by 19th century observers and had been slightly lower than in the current outline.
There was also some evidence to suggest that the feature on one staff similar to a scythe blade, flail or shepherd's crook was genuine, along with a suggestion of a "helmet" or hat. During the Second World War it was painted green to avoid it being used as a landmark by German aircraft. Trinny Woodall , Susannah Constantine and women gave the Long Man a temporary female form by using their bodies to add pigtails, breasts and hips.
The women created the effect by lying down in white boiler suits to make shapes. However the scene prompted twenty-two Neo-Pagans to protest at the site during filming. The Long Man is claimed as 'sacred' by the Council of British Druid Orders , who said the 'stunt' would "dishonour an ancient Pagan site of worship". Observed by locals it appeared that a football pitch marker or similar object was used to paint the phallus. The words were removed quickly and were believed to have been made out of tarpaulin.
In Arthur Beckett 's Spirit of the Downs , a chapter is dedicated to the Long Man of Wilmington, in "The Hero on the Hill", and gives a fictional account of the invading Saxon's victory over the Britons, who celebrate by drawing an enormous figure on the Downs.
Eleanor Farjeon , in her book Martin Pippin in the Daisy Field , gives a fancy origin of the giant in a form of a folktale told by Martin Pippin the bard to six young girls in the daisy field. In his comic The Sandman 19 , Neil Gaiman interprets the figure as the guardian of a gateway into Faerie.
The giant is omnipresent in the post-apocalyptic future of the science-fiction book by Lord Dunsany The Pleasures of a Futuroscope written in The Long Man has long been an influence on artists, musicians, and authors. The composers Benjamin Britten and Frank Bridge would often picnic at the foot of the figure. The folk-singer, Maria Cunningham, wrote a folk song about the Long Man in In the ninth episode of the Japanese TV series Cowboy Bebop , "Jamming with Edward", an image of the Long Man is seen briefly alongside other landscape carvings, although now it is located in South America.
