Introduction: This crop circle was first reported on the 22nd of May 2026 in a field of young barley. It measures approximately 180ft in diameter.

Description: This crop circle is a pretty four-fold, elaborate quintuplet-type design. Like so many crop circle quintuplets, it squares the circle more (in this case more than once) – see the geometry gallery below for more details. Squaring the circle is an ancient geometric conundrum, in which a circle and a square are drawn that have equal perimeters or areas. This symbolises the union of Heaven (circle) and Earth (square). The dome on top of a church, or temple, is expression of the very same principle. It denotes Sacred Space, a place to commune with the Divine. One of the interesting things about quintuplet crop circles (and there have been many over the last 30+ years), is that almost all of them square the circle. 

Flight: We were finally able to take to the air for our first flight of the season. This crop circle was recovering very quickly (phototropism), even after just 3 days. Still, the pattern was still very visible and looked beautiful in the landscape. 

We are still fund-raising to fly this season, if you’d like to make a donation to our flight fund, you can do that here.

In addition to Steve’s stunning images below, you can also see drone and ground images by Tomasz Kaczmarek and Simon Young. We are enormously grateful to Tomasz and Simon for sharing their images with us. 

Visiting: Please do not enter the field without seeking permission from the farmer. Please read our Visiting the Crop Circles section for a downloadable PDF about visiting the crop circles. 

Location History: There have been many circles at White Sheet Hill and the surrounding area over the years. Perhaps the most famous being the huge formation of 2010 (see left). 

 

 

White Sheet Hill is another fine example of elevated chalk grassland which has evidence of ancient history at its summit. While I have already visited plenty of dramatic hill fort sites in Wiltshire, White Sheet Hill is interesting for its diverse archaeological heritage. It has a neolithic enclosure dating back to 3,000 BC, and an Iron Age hill fort at the top. There are also Bronze Age barrows, some of which are clearly visible. It is incredible to think they have survived for 3 to 4,000 years.

General Information:

Visiting the Circles? If you are thinking of visiting any crop circles this summer, please read our Visiting the Crop Circles section. It’s full of useful information and etiquette for visiting the countryside and the crop circles. Please remember that you should not enter any field without the express permission of the farmer.

Please Help to keep us Flying in 2026: We hope to take to the skies again in 2026 to record the circles that appear this summer. If you have enjoyed 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.
