Chilcombe Down, Near Winchester,

Wiltshire.

Reported August 13 2009

Classic quintuplet design in spring barley. Central circle laid clockwise, satellites laid in alternate directions, with laid crop overlying the plants forming the ring. Each satellite had a single off-set central tuft. Although these tufts were clearly worse for wear from recent very heavy rain, they still clearly demonstrated a tight and precise construction. Overall, a pleasing little formation.
