I discovered this formation while photographing the Telegraph Hill formation. It can easily be seen from the A6 when travelling north from Luton. It is on the side of a small hill in the field and best viewed from the side of the field or the village of Streatley.

The crop is well laid in the lower parts of the formation, but at the top the crop is very much shorter and it has risen up again. The Crop is Barley. The pointed bit at the top is on top of a  hill with the body trailing down.

The lay in the rings and inner circles does not flow round in a circle, it flows out and down hill.

The circles making up the tail at the bottom are all swirled clockwise. The circles making up the 'legs' on the lower side in the photograph, are swirled clockwise. The legs on the far side are swirled anticlockwise.
