I would describe the crop picture as a solid circle approx 15m in diameter surrounded by two further concentric circular shells.  There are also two channels that run off at about 75º from one another, one straight, one slightly wavy.  The straight(er) one is about 12m in length.  The wavy one is longer, perhaps 20m.  Each of the channels forks at the end, and these forked channels fork again after 2-3m, running only for a further 2-3m before stopping (almost reminiscent of the Uffington white horse).  The forking seems random and I cannot imagine what the picture is 'supposed' to be, though first thoughts are of sperms approaching an egg or of a seed germinating in soil.  As said however, I seek to survey the site more accurately tomorrow and provide a draft plan view, provided the combines haven't had it.

It's interesting to note that the arc distance between the two antennae is accurately one sixth the circumference of the circle.  This of course falls in line with the six-fold symmetry we see in many circles in the south

The circle is still there, at least 4 days now, and doesn't seem to have been disturbed.  The photo represents the best view it is possible to have without an aerial photo, as you can see its frustrating that some of the detail of the "arms" can't be seen well.
