The first formation is just off the Icknield Way. There is easy access to the field from the path. It is a ring with a triangle within it and a circle within the triangle. Out side the ring at the vertices of the triangle are small grapeshot circles. The circle and ring are anticlockwise. The arms of the triangle are not straight and they bow outwards as they pass the inner circle. The crop was wheat and the field has suffered considerable wind damage. Even with the wind damage the defects in the formation are obvious.
The crop is wheat.
Report by Russell Stannard.
Description: Triangle inside ring, flat circle in centre. Also two double crescents, three flat circles. Located off of Barton Rd. Crop unknown.
To view formations stand on top of the hill known as Deacon hill,
which is opposite the live and let live Pub, Barton road d, Pegsdon. One of the formations is now surrounded by wind damage.
Hope you can find them.
Report Terry Roderick.
This crop circle is in perfect condition, a beautiful geometric design,
comprising a central large circle, nested inside a triangle, with paths linking into the circle from each corner. The triangle is in turn inside a
circular pathway, tangential to which are three smaller flattened stalk circles. These three circles have upright tufts in their centre, but the
central circle is tightly nested in the middle. There is some wind damage in the field, but not in the formation itself.
It is visible rather well from the car park at Treasure Grove (? forgot the name) on the road to Lilley. The formation lies alongside the Icknield Way,
on Telegraph Hill. This part of Ickneild Way can be accessed from the car park on the B655 en route to Pegsdon, or by walking across the Wildlife
area around Pegsdon Hills, next to Deacon Hill.
