Cerne Abbas Giant (aerial)
England

The Cerne Abbas Giant, or Cerne Giant, is a hill figure near the village of Cerne Abbas, England. Measuring 180' in length, the hill figure depicts a bald, nude male, holding his left hand out to the side and wielding a large club in his right hand. Like many other hill figures, the Cerne Giant is formed by shallow trenches cut into the turf and backfilled with chalk rubble.


The origin and age of the figure are unclear, and archaeological evidence suggests that parts of it have been lost, altered, or added, over time; the earliest written record dates to the late 17th century. Early antiquarians associated it, albeit on little evidence, with a Saxon deity, while other scholars sought to identify it with a Romano-British figure of Hercules (or some syncretisation of the two). The lack of earlier descriptions, along with information given to the 18th-century antiquarian John Hutchins, has led some scholars to conclude it dates from the 17th century. Conversely, recent optically stimulated luminescence testing has suggested an origin between the years 700AD and 1110AD, possibly close to the 10th-century date of the founding of nearby Cerne Abbey.


Above the figure one can see square earthworks known as The Trendle.
