Etchilhampton Hill, Wiltshire

This very pretty formation is close to where the large formation of 2015 was placed. This formation is not as large as the one last year but measures approximately 160-180ft in diameter. At it’s most basic this is a classic ringed circle, but it’s beauty lies in the fantastic floor lay inside the centre circle. Amongst the weaving and myriad of swirls is a unicursal hexagram  – unicursal meaning in a continuous line. We have seen this kind of hexagram at least once before at the end of 2014 at Ackling Dyke in Dorset. In the unicursal hexagram the lines are not equal, nor are its points equidistant, but it will still fit inside a circle with all six points touching the perimeter. There is a particularly fine standing ring of crop at the centre of this formation which centres the entire pattern in the laid crop.

This formation features in our Crop Circle Year Book 2016. Every sale helps us continue our work!

Please Help to keep us Flying: If you have enjoyed this site, looking at our pictures and information please consider making a small donation to keep us flying. There are so few of us left regularly recording the circles it’s really important that we continue. And while some now use drones to record the circles, it is important that there are still images taken from aircraft where the best quality camera equipment can be used and images that include the broad vista of the landscape can be taken.  This kind of photography is expensive and it gets harder with each passing year to raise the funds we need to continue our work, but if everyone who regularly looked at this website made a small donation we would meet the funds we need. You can make a donation here.

For the main part this is a simple ringed circle, it’s beauty lies in the exquisite floor-lay in the main circle.
