The stone is locally known as the Bellingstone, and it is said marks (I think) the position of sunset on 1st May, as viewed from the Giant.

Rodney Legg notes:

A great big sarsen boulder tucked into the hedge of the prehistoric ridgeway. That's the path the prehistoric and medieval people took, and that is the point to which the Cerne Giant is looking. The stone seems to be a viewing point for paying your respects to the giant. He also looks across at extensive ancient settlements.
