We  visited the formation across from Allington  near the downs.  It was in a  wheat field filled with thistle, many of  which were laid down along with  the wheat.  Some of the thistles were  broken off, while others managed to  lay down nicely without being  damaged/dying.  A very energetic lay at  this one.  It was contained  by a 4ft wide ring of about 160 ft (I think,  I don't remember the  measurements on this one so well).  It had a laid  circle (35 ft  diameter) tangent to the inner edge of the ring.  At the  point of  tangency, a second smaller ring circumscribed the laid circle as  well.  The second ring emerged in the centre of the larger ring as a  laid  crescent (almost semi-circle) and had a three foot wide laid  path  connecting to a second laid circle.  I have some ground photos,  but we  are having difficulty downloading them at the moment.  I am  sure they  will be flown on in the coming days.
