The Cerne Abbas Giant is a hill figure near the village of Cerne Abbas, in Dorset, England, where it is owned presently by the National Trust, and listed as a scheduled monument of England. Measuring in length, the hill figure depicts a bald, nude male with a prominent erection, 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. Read more on Wikipedia
