First, the Cerne Giant is thought to be 17th century, not Roman. There are no records before that, and it's not inconspicuous.

Second. the current layout is probably not the original one, and that extra detail is likely to have been added in one of the refreshes. He's also thought to have lost a pelt draped over his other arm.

The really old chalk figure is the White Horse that gives its name to the Vale of White Horse (about 3000 years old - one millennium pre-Roman). That also appears on bronze age coinage from the area.

And Kathy, is that lion prohibition for African lions only, or do mountain lions count, too? Is there an exception for MGM films?

FWIW, the first MGM lion was born in Dublin, Ireland.
