The latest crop circle at the Bury Farm appears very interesting
from an overhead perspective if a stretched view is created.

REPORT UPDATE 18082004

just a short update on the bury farm, Pegsdon formation of July 10th the upper section aligns with deacon hill while the lower part aligns with the slope of the hill and the position of the deacon hill formation behind it. I suspect further geometric work would reveal other alignments to the barrow-called knocking hill or knocking hoe to the north and the conical hill in front of it. The lay inside the outer part circles leading to the 'candelabra' was woven in a flowing pattern.

The best I can do-this is a tricky one and the proportions are probably way out-also I think the centre is slightly different .Russell has images but can't process until this weekend.

The formation is linear with circles and a central stem that appears to divert at an angle-difficult to see from the road as it is flat and no convenient hills nearby. I found this while driving to find the one at Meppershall, again I felt the need to take this particular route as I have been drawn to this field since last summer. A passing motorist said that it wasn't there yesterday evening at 4.30 as he drives that way regularly and always looks in the field. I will try to access tomorrow and take interior shots.
 

 

 


UPDATE


A nicely swirled lay, each circle swirls in the opposite direction and one is a spiral coming in from an attached larger semicircle. Again difficult to see from the ground what the overall design is but it does appear to have a central circle and semicircles above and below. The linear section isn't straight but goes off at a tangent-yet when you are in the top end (NW) it looks as if it is. When down the SE end it definitely goes off at an angle from about the centre. Each circle has a different centre, one is an elegant tuft that just folds over gently, another is a small folded pyramid, another swirls into a spiral. Cracking noises were heard inside at one point. No sign of entry and the stalks are bent not broken.
