As we arrived, Monday 7th around 7 pm, rain started again so that the photos are what they are… What was very interesting is the proximity of this Longbarrow unknown by the majority of people. Wayland’s Smithy is known for having 2 chambers whilst West Kennett Longbarrow has got 4 chambers, this one has no less than 6 chambers and measures around 15/20 meters long. So once again, the circle makers are leading us to ancient monuments and the knowledge that goes with.

The crop circle is just facing the entrance slightly left no more far than 50 m. The second surprise is that it is not rape seed although there are a few rogue rape seed blown in from other fields, which can lead to some confusion at first. This crop is bean ! (see photo). The lay is very flattened and seems quite fragile, not sure it will lift up again later. Nonetheless the swirls on the ground are off center and beautiful. I guess the flattened aspect will give a good contrast from the air.

The entrance of the barrow is pointing south east, so aerial landscapes photos (if sunny) should be better around mid-day (for a better contrast) or eventually the morning.
