These kind of figures are usually visible because the surrounding 
vegetation and possibly soil was removed within the figures.  This will 
show up as negative space when you accurately map the surrounding 
vegetation.

I don't think it would be appropriate for the standard map style to 
render these figures independent of physical observable properties like 
this.
