This crop glyph, 300 feet in diameter, was first spotted in the early morning of June 1st 2008. The formation can be well seen from the road-side at the north base of the castle hill, and can be seen in its entirety from the elevated position just a short distance up the hill. On the ground the formation is extremely neat and precise throughout. The entire laid crop arcs within the circle was very clean and there were no obvious signs of mechanical device usage, further, no boot and plank stomping marks were found to be evident at the site. In all parts of the formation that were examined closely the barley plants were neatly bent just above the ground and not broken or crushed. This applies to the outer edges of the formation and its internal elements also. The formation measures approximately 300 feet in diameter The laid barley crop in the circular elements of the glyph were noted as being swirled out from the central points in what could be considered a mathematical spiral formula, which flows to the peripheries with some elegance. The entire formation has a seamless effect on the ground, as if the agency involved in its creation was a singular energetic, hand or entity. Charles Mallett. The proportions within this 2008 event indicate a far more intricate ratchet than its 1991 predecessor.    For  full size photographs please visit © Lucy Pringle  “When Newsnight said to me the BBC had no intention of doing any in-depth study or program on crop circles, I thought that really says it all. They are not prepared to look at the crop phenomenon seriously.”  Lucy Pringle, Crop Circle Photographer and Author
