Reported by Gordon Clark of the Kent Dowser Group on the 27th June, a Kent formation in ripened barley is to be seen clearly from the A28 (LHS as you travel eastwards past High Halden towards Ashford).  OS TQ906378

Although the formation's a fairly simple affair consisting of just 2 circles, both their floors contained some interesting features.  The larger circle (measuring 93 feet in diameter) contained some beautiful chevron feathering around its perimeter, which was further enhanced by the soft barley seed heads.  Within its choppy floor, many of the laid seed heads were found to be aligned with their stems, but with some plants interestingly adopting a 'C' bend towards the top of the stem (see photo).  There were also several small raised pyramid-shaped nests, that we noted symmetrically arranged within the floor lay. 

The smaller circle (measuring 24 feet in diameter), which distanced itself by 41 feet from the larger one, featured a figure of 8 centrepiece swirl. 

Although it was reported on the 27th June, a few locals claimed it had been there for over a week.  If that's the case, then its condition is remarkable for a formation considered that old!  Evidence did suggest though that it hadn't received many visitors, if indeed at all!
