Avebury, Wiltshire. Reported 10/08/01

 

Diagram C&F Copyright 2001
The diagram that it is an APPROXIMATION only.

This formation was first spotted on Saturday 10th of August by
a local pilot. Competent researchers were notified and first
entered the glyph, after a frantic search on Sunday 11th. The
researchers advised me that when they first entered the
formation ?it was in excellent condition with no signs of prior
entry evident?. Very interesting to note the fact that over the
previous few days there has been a very considerable amount
of precipitation in the local area, leaving the fields quite
saturated. As mentioned above, when the researchers first
arrived at the scene the entire glyph was neat and totally free of
mud and indeed, any and all other such obvious signs of
human activity within and surrounding the formation were
nowhere to be seen. 

What is it? 

A 313? ft, old style, with a rather original flavour, pictogram.
The circle-making agency involved in the creation of this glyph
has utilized the tramline that runs down the backbone of the
formation, with very impressive results. Many of the the most
interesting features are to be found actually between this
central backbone including, laid paths of crop that leave
standing curtain style features on the inner edges of the
tramlines. This is repeated several times within the formation.
Many extremely neat, rather cute little circles and rectangles are
also dotted along, in-between the tramlines leaving one with the
overriding impression that this formation actually needs and
uses the tramlines as an integral design feature in order for the
glyph to work, and that it does.

Altogether this rather pleasing design incorporates thirty or so
individual elements, all fitted together with a close attention to
detail that left us with a very positive objective and subjective
feeling for the event as a whole.    

What does it mean? 

No Idea!
