Danebury Hill fort is an immense fortified enclosure, dating back to the Neolithic times, and subsequently handed down by generations over millennia. Nowadays, its is heavily wooded, and can only be viewed on one side of the fort, but it has been a location for the CircleMakers since the early nineties.

The latest design to appear, is an expression of seven fold geometry at its best! This was a highly impressive formation, containing one of the best floor constructions witnessed this season. The wheat in Hampshire this year, would seem to be further on in its cycle, than the Wiltshire crops. This meant that at the time of the appearance of this formation, the crop was probably at its best for creating this type of formation.

The plants were pressed tightly to the ground, with the ring inside flowing in a clockwise rotation. Each of the arc's were flowing in unison with the ring, but with a very neat cut off, creating their own independent section. What was so interesting about these arcs, was that the floor itself had two directional flows, both were flowing the same way, but at slightly different angles, but at the same time very articulate in its execution.

Seven fold geometry is extremely difficult to produce, to see it within a field and with the level of accuracy is quite breathtaking, others designs this year have also included seven fold, so it would seem the CircleMakers are becoming more complex in their thinking, but what does a shape like the one at Danebury represent, if indeed there is meaning?

Around the rings perimeter, we found no evidence of any outline pathway, including the perimeter of the standing portion in the middle. No setting out markers were visible either for the arcs themselves.

A highly impressive formation, and one to set a standard for the Hampshire formations, probably the finest in this county so far, and within such a wonderful part of the country.
