After getting my bearings from the Avebury Henge, I ventured into the 6ft tall maize field at Avebury, to investigate reports of the possible new event. Fortunately it was close to the corner of the field, so it did not take very long to find what appeared to be a single circle, measuring about 50ft in diameter. My first thought was that the circle looked quite old, based on observing a lot of recovering plants. The layer crop seemed to be almost random in nature. Closer inspection showed about 50% of the plants had been snapped cleanly over at ground level, whilst the remainder were bent over smoothly, and showing no signs of applied mechanical pressure. Although basic, I left this fairly rough looking circle feeling as though Id witnessed something of importance.
