Photographer's note: 'The White Horse Stone is a name given to two separate sarsen megaliths on the slopes of Blue Bell Hill, near the village of Aylesford. The Lower White Horse Stone was destroyed prior to 1834, at which time the surviving Upper White Horse Stone took on its name and folkloric associations. Archaeologists have suggested that the stones were each part of chambered long barrows constructed in the fourth millennium BC, during Britain's Early Neolithic period.'
