Note: London Fenchurch St to Southend railway line next to it.

The position of it is quite unusual as it is near water  i.e. the river Thames Estuary as it goes into the North Sea. Also about 500 years ago this would be sea, hence the castle which was built in Henry VIII' s time. It may even be below sea level. 

Also it is in a highly populated area - Southend-on-Sea to the east, Canvey Island to the south and Benfleet/Hadleigh (part of the Southend conurbation) to the north and west.

Just noticed on your site that there is a new circle reported in Southend. In the Waden Hill formation on Sunday a man very proudly told me that he and his mates had made a crop circle in Southend recently. He did not describe the shape but did say it was not complicated. This could well be it! Thought you would like to know,
