REPORT:
 

Avebury, Wiltshire.

 

Reported April 23 2009.

 

This spiky formation was first reported on April 23rd 2009.

The glyph is located approximately a half mile to the North East of the Avebury stone circle and can be viewed from the East bank of the Henge.

Overall diameter of the formation is 298ft. The inner laid circle area measures 66ft diameter. The apparent centre point of the formation, consisting of a tightly bunched knot of Rape-seed (Canola) plants, is offset from actual centre by several feet.

On the ground the glyph is very neat and sharp throughout. A proportion of the laid plants are broken at the base whilst a very substantial proportion are neatly bent with no breakage of bruising.

Report by Charles R Mallett.

I have been to the Starburst or Sun, nr Avebury this morning. The formation is still in pristine condition, the centre swirls clockwise, the outer ring anticlockwise, all the stems that I examined, still had the dusty bloom covering from tip to top, remarkably undisturbed.
The foties I have attached are:~ one of a large ray, one of a medium ray, one of a small ray,
then the centre piece, (which is again sort of doubled over and woven, similar to The Ridgeway,)
Finally the large beautifully laid inner circle. The different sized rays remind me of:~
 

The Sun, giver of life, warmth, growth, all that is good. Similar styles are seen throughout the South Western Indian cultures. May or may not also show "rays" signifying the four directions  
 
The Zia, named for Zia Pueblo, who first used it,
this is another symbol of the sun,
and also of the four directions
and the circle of life on earth.
It also may be connected with the place of emergence, the sipapu, in stories.
