The Long Man of Wilmington (NGR TQ 542034) is a modern construction of concrete blocks marking the site of a hill figure of uncertain origin and uncertain shape. This article reviews the modern history of the constructed outline and its relationship with the unencumbered hill figure that existed on the site until 1873. The results of resistivity surveys undertaken by Gravett in 1969 and the present author in 1996?97 are used to try to resolve some of the problems in reconstructing the shape of the Long Man before the 1873-74 bricking.
