Title: Military role for Cerne Abbas giant?

A new theory is about to be published.  As it is by respectable academics in a respectable journal, maybe there will be something in it?

Makes as much sense any any of the other theories, with perhaps better, albeit not truly explicit written evidence.

Also a good reason to use the giant as a flag device.
