Reconstruction of the
2002 Ivinghoe Beacon formation

The formation is sitting in a field at the north-eastern
end of the Ridgeway, an ancient path that runs all the way from Alton
Barnes, at the centre of the major UK crop circle area. As far as I know
this is the first formation to appear in this location, although there was
a quintuplet not far away at
Dunstable Downs.
Although smaller than East Field, this field is similar because it is
surrounded by tall hill sides, allowing the formation to be viewed from all
directions.
The wheat crop is very much more advanced than the Wiltshire crops. This
shows in a slightly messy lay in some areas. However, other areas of the
formation, like the tear drops have some interesting flows in them. This is
shown in one of the attached photographs.
