        I think it was carved a LONG time ago, probably first age or GodTime, possibly in the Aram Ya Udrum era. I think whats inside the hill is both inside the earth and in the Otherworld - in other words, the domain of the earth gods/spirits. I like the image of the Chalk Man moving to open the giant door...

        This is in contrast the real life Rude Man of Cerne, who is apparently a relatively recent (ie a few centuries) practical joke. The White Horse of Uffington is apparently pretty old, though.

        Cheers
