It is believed to of been cut in 1864 and is one in eight hill figures in Wiltshire of a white horse. The horse faces west on a long grassed covered steep slope 450 above sea level above Littletown nursey farmhouse just outside Broad Town. The horse is 80 by 60 feet in size composed of fine compacted chalk, with well defined edges. The horse can be seen well from the B4041 and from the centre of Broad Town itself. One approchable view is from the farm track which leads from Chapel Lane to Littletown farmhouse. The footpath leading from this track allows the horse to be approached, the steps up to the horse are somewhat dangerous and it is advised that they are not used. The Restoration Society asks Would visitors not climb the steps below the Horse as they are dangerous and are only to be used when the Horse is being maintained. The land is private and no responsibility for any accident can be accepted. ref Broad Town White Horse Restoration Society site ref . According to Rev. Plenderleath, writing in 1885, it was cut in 1864 by a William Simmonds, who held the farm then.
