The Uffington White Horse is tagged as man_made=geoglyph, which seems
apposite and is documented (if underused).

Adding a natural=bare_rock  tag to reflect the exposed bedrock underneath
(yes, chalk is a rock) would seem acceptable, and would have the definite
bonus of getting the shape to render.

Otherwise, a hill figure can be variously a tourist attraction, a memorial,
a monument, an archaeological site - it would depend on the specifics of
when, by whom and for what purpose it was initially constructed.
