Stanton St Bernard, Near Alton Barnes. Wiltshire.

Reported 08 - 08- 10

This 60ft ring was discovered from the air in the morning of August 8. On the ground the ring looked as if it had been there for around three days. The seed heads on the laid wheat had been chewed hip by crows and other wildlife..

This 'old school' event was very curiously laid out radially, with no outer or inner defining lines. Most seed heads in the laid crop were noted as straight and rigid, with the flow of the crop, as opposed to the standing crop with its curled and rigid heads.

We discovered no obvious regular and repetitive crushing damage in the ring that would indicate hoaxing.
