I am so lucky to be living in Wiltshire – the heart of Crop Circle country. This afternoon, Sunday 14th , I went to visit the formation at South Field,  Alton Priors. Such a beautiful sunny day and spoilt for choice for formations. Anyway, we ended up visiting this one. On entering, it did seem somewhat messy, especially compared to the ‘Phoenix’ ( which by the way, was something else!). Lots of the wheat was standing up. The wheat was broken in most places, some evidence of bending but to be honest I wasn’t up for a detailed inspection today – just wanted to chill out. The lay was clockwise, layering in parts, some rough tufts. On ground level it lacked the precision of the Phoenix. Edges were more rugged. Perhaps, I shouldn’t compare as it has a totally different feel to it than the ‘Phoenix’. Although, complex in its own right it didn’t give me the ‘wow’ factor but hey, I’ve been spoilt! It was a great afternoon and we met some lovely fellow enthusiasts and had a good chat with them. Also, we all saw some curious and interesting lights outside the formation. I will post these photographs separate to the report for inclusion on a different part of the page. Would be interested in opinions.'

So today (15th June) after Barbury, I bumbled over to Southfield, and was surprised to see this formation is in quite young wheat, which made me feel a tad uncomfortable walking around. As my ground shots show, this crop is laid at about 60 degrees angle from the earth. The wheat is flowing clockwise throughout. There is a small centre swirl of standing wheat, I have taken pictures from this swirl, which hopefully shows it lining up with Knapp Hill, Adams Grave and Woodborough Hill. The edge of the outer circle is like Morse code, for want of better terminology,  it looks like dot dot dash, sort of thing, creating a jagged effect,  whilst all the other curves are smooth.
