The Cerne Abbas Giant (carved into chalk with huge cock in Dorset) is now reckoned to be Anglo Saxon rather than Celtic. But nobody still knows who or what is was meant to represent.
Any ideas? |

"I suspect further excavations might reveal a giant sky remote carved in chalk.
And a note from Mrs Cerne-Abbas saying
'for Christ's sake Barry, put it away!'"

"Some think it was carved after a monastery came to the area, as an insult to religion and its ways. "
That's interesting. There's a figure on a hill in Sussex, the Long Man of Wilmington but he's missing the vital bit |
