Just read Mike Murray's field report on the Fibonacci spiral at Barbury Castle. After being there on Sunday I can't say I agree one bit! Radial lines were very wonky, found evidence of board marks all over the centre circle. I attach 2 pictures, a radial line with kinks and a close up of board marks.  

After visiting the stunning formations at Liddington and Aldbourne the contrast when I went into this one at Barbury Castle was stark and obvious. Sorry, in my humble opinion this goes in the box labelled "man-made". Of course, it IS only my opinion..............

UPDATE

This “crop circle” was nothing more than a “land-art” experiment done I imagine by a team of hoaxers – because when we visited it on Sunday it was completely covered in board marks – there was no mistaking them. The “thin straight lines” connecting the centre circle to the spiral were not completely straight – they were in fact quite wonky in places… so to cut a long story short we didn’t like this “formation” at all – the only “energy” we got from this “thing” was from getting sun-burnt wondering how much the farmer must have been paid for this “land-art” experiment. Still, our day was not spoiled because before we visited this (cough) “crop circle” we had seen a couple of REAL formations earlier on – and they were terrific!
