Just how old is the Cerne Abbas Giant in Dorset. At times it was thought to be Prehistoric or Roman or even an image of Oliver Cromwell. Well it turns out that it is most likely a late Saxon hillside carving. Although some favour that it is from the mid to late 17th century. Using Optically Stimulated Luminescence or (OSL) scientists have identified it as being from 700AD to 1100AD.
