A 6m (20ft) appendage has been added to famous chalk hill carving the Long Man of Wilmington.
It is thought pranksters used a football pitch marker for the stunt in East Sussex.
Sussex Archaeological Society said: ‘There has been a fair bit of sniggering about it.’ The paint is expected to wash away.
The Long Man of Wilmington lies on the slopes of Windover Hill, 9 miles from Eastbourne and is thought to date back to around the 16th century.

Actually, it doesn't look that out of place. Ancient art often used to depict genitalia.
I'm glad the archaeological society is being good-humored about it.
