   Moroni, himself, buried them inside    
   the westernmost Eye of Westbury White Horse. They are embedded in pozzolanic   
   (hydraulic) cement made from Stonehenge pulverized volcanic ash and tuff   
   (containing silica and alumina) and ground lime mix sealing their Bluestone   
   aggregate concrete    
   encasement. A century later the horse had become misshapen, and in 1873 it was   
   restored according to the Rev. Wise LDS Committee, and edging stones were   
   added to help hold the chalk in place. The shape of the present horse dates   
   from this restoration. In    
   the early 20th century, additional concrete was added to hold the edging   
   stones in place. In the late 1950's, it was decided that it would considerably   
   reduce the maintenance costs if the horse were covered in concrete. This work   
   was carried out, and    
   concreting was repeated in 1995. At a later date, White Horse eye pavers, and   
   concrete, were painted.

   chimney was demolished.
