The pattern is made up of a large semi circle, and
four smaller circles in an arc. The semi circle and the four smaller
circles together form a large circle 10 - 12 metres in diameter. In the
four smaller circles the lay is clock wise.
Although the lay may seem messy in places, notice the
dynamic and flowing lay both in the smaller circles and the larger semi
circle. Also notice how the flow of the downed stalks is
continuous from one of the smaller circles to through the next and so
forth.
A visitor to the formation on the 18th of August,
found that the downed plants in several places had break marks half way
up the stems, and that the stems looked squashed 5-10 cm above the
ground. He also noticed that the soil under the knots in the centres of
the small circles looked looser (liked it might have been messed
with) than the soil in the rest of the formation.
