Crop Art at Luddingstone Castle, nr Eynsford, Kent. Reported 19th July.

FIELD REPORT

This formation in wheat is practically invisible from any viewpoint around and unless like myself you were looking for one rumoured in the area, you'd probably be blissfully unaware of it! A slight glimpse is all that's available on your right, as you take the turning right into Castle Road (towards Castle Farm) from Station Road (A 225), about a mile from Eynsford village centre.

It's placed at the back of the field and it's from here that I was able to overlook it. Luckily the formation's pathway runs to the edge of the field, and because it's quite small (no more than 40 - 50 feet overall), you can see exactly what's going on. There's a large centre circle that's
swept clockwise, with the outer 5 - 6 feet wide pathways also laid in that direction. (Please note that the diagram is only a preliminary one and may not be entirely accurate.)

As far as I was able to tell, it didn't appear to have had many visitors. Stalks were bent to the ground with apparently little breakage or creasing. Because of its remote position, I'm also of the opinion that the formation could be at least a week or so old.

Interestingly, the formation is only a quarter of a mile from Lullingstone Castle and a mile or so from Lullingstone Villa. The excavated remains of this Roman villa revealed some beautiful mosaics. The villa also houses a private chapel that is said to be one of the earliest places of Christian worship in Britain.

Graham Tucker Medway Crop Circle

Firstly, its amazing that anyone noticed it in the first place as it is barely visible from either road or from any vantage point, as it lies on the down slope and close to and obscured from the other side by trees . The circle is small, at some 5-6 meters across and has two 'ears' or semicircular rings on opposite sides, evidently laid after the central circle; all laid Clock Wise. The centre is on a bare patch of soil so there is no central whirl; however it has an interesting feature of a straight path leading from the down slope 'ear' to the hedge, about 1 metre wide and about 5 meters long with the crop flowing downwards, . The direction of this path is towards the
river Darent, which lies on the other side of the trees some 50 or more meters away. I would estimate the formation had been down for some 3+ weeks. It is in wheat on a clayey soil overlying chalk + flints.

Herewith A couple of Lullingstone ground shots. The formation is a circle with two ears; from one of the ears there is a path to to the hedge. Beyond the hedge is the river Darent , so this rather looks like an 'earthing' path for the circle-making energies.

Report by Andrew King.

The description is a Circle quite small with two hoops coming from the main circle. It is quite small and the crop is wheat.
