Reported 21st June2003
The Formation is located in a Wheat field on
Blackberry Hill, Clutton Hill, Clutton, Nr. Bath.
OS map 172. ST 638-605
The field itself is situated
on quite a steep incline and the formation is clearly visible from The High
Littleton Road and surrounding area. It is made up of 4 rings, 2ft
in width all joining at the bottom with the crop laid in an anti-clockwise
direction, with 3 separate smaller circles below in a think bubble fashion, 2
rings and a circle with a swirled centre and all laid in a clockwise
direction. On examining the crop there are visible signs of damage.
I was unable to find the owner of the land so it
is not clear if access to the field is possible. Field Report

As I made my way into the field
mixed feelings of anticipation and excitement griped my fertile being.
Could this latest crop glyph be yet another stepping-stone on the
evolutionary journey I have found myself on? Perhaps this latest enigmatic
offering would provide the answers that my soul so craves? Just a few
moments and the awesome mystery of ages would be before me. Heart pounding
and in a state of child-like awe my pace quickened and soon the much
sought after miracle lay in stark relief, poised on the hill like some
brooding God-like form.
I made the final approach...
As the event came into my full view
something was obliviously very wrong. This was no miracle, perhaps a joke,
maybe even an accident. What I had expected to see was seamless beauty and
elegance, the kind of thing one sees on a regular basis with the genuine and
profound crop circle mystery, Not this time!
What I saw here, on the day the event was
discovered, was nothing less than an embarrassing attempt at crop glyph
fakery manifest in its crudest form. The attempted pattern is seriously
compromised in all areas of construction. The general layout looks
un-thought out and sloppy. The actual laid (smashed) crop areas
(throughout) represent some of the most crude and ham-fisted attempts at crop
crunching ever experienced by this researcher. "Stomping board" marks were
seen all over the pattern with some of the crop looking as if a trio of
clumsy plank wielding village idiots had got themselves drunk on the local
brew and then decided to do each other in the nearest field of wheat. This
theory may go some way in explaining how such an ugly thing could come into
being.
I feel for the farmer, heaven only knows
what he must have thought after seeing the mess in his field.
Clearly the fakers involved at this
location are at the low end of the scale when it comes to creative works and
I feel that a stint at circle-faking school would be well worth
consideration.
