UPDATE

One of the earlier reports suggested that this formation might be a Celtic Knot design - and that's exactly what we have!
 
The diagrams here are based upon Andrew King's aerial shot.  May I take this opportunity of publicly thanking Andrew for this.  An aerial shot was badly required on this occasion as a decent viewpoint couldn't be found.
 
Because the farmer is not allowing access - not even to measure, the diagrams are not 100% accurate, but they're fairly close.

Kent's second formation for the year 2000 may be glimpsed from the M20 between Wrotham and Farningham, London bound.  Laid out in barley close to a copse, this is quite a large tri-circular formation which includes interesting angular features in its centre.  Once again, this formation, like the Farningham one, has proved quite to difficult to photograph.  It needs to be flown over.  Can anyone oblige please?
 
The farmer, who has had formations on his land in previous years, will not give permission for anyone to enter.  Respecting this, we could not get any interior shots, but managed to get these shots from the road-side.  The young barley appears to be already springing up.
 
Yet again, another Kent formation has been laid down in close proximity to the ancient Pilgrim's Way.  (In '99 we had similar at Lenham, Trottiscliffe and Borstal).
 
Both the Kent formations have parked themselves close to the busy M20 motorway ... what a way to ensure maximum attention!

Thank you Peter Kleinferchner

 


A second formation for Kent in barley this time, although it has only been viewed from half way up a tree I understand!  Will try to get some more details as soon as possible.

Reported by Joyce Gallery 

There is a report of a new formation in Kent. It's been described as  a 300ft 'Celtic knot' and it's in barley. It's located near Wrotham, 
Kent on the M20. If you were London bound on the M20 it would be on  your left. It sounds pretty impressive... might be worth flying over 
 if you, or someone else get the chance...
