Kingweston, Somerset. 

(Near Snap Hill)

Introduction: This crop circle was first reported on the 10th of May 2026 in a field of young barley. It measures approximately 150ft in diameter.

Description: This crop circle is a six-fold spinner-type design. Six equidistant circles are connected to a central circle with curved pathways. Where the curves meet the six circles, they are slightly flattened, this is unusual.

Appeared in stages? Although first reported on the 10th of May, by the 13th of May, this crop circle had changed with the additions of 6 new curves, making the pattern a little more complex. However, it appears that there may have been an interim stage, where only five new curves were added, with the sixth curve coming shortly after. I’m checking on the details of this and will update this page when I have an accurate timeline to share. Circles can appear in stages, it’s unusual, but by no means unheard of. 

Researcher Dan Vidler: I left Kingweston at about 6pm on Tuesday 12th and the additions were definitely not there. It seems like Tomasz Kaczmarek photographed it from 8pm onwards. His photo shows 5 additions (curved paths) not 6. The 6th arm must have appeared overnight on Tuesday 12th, whereas the first 5 definitely appeared during daylight hours, seemingly within as little as 2 hours. This, in theory, could be a three-phase appearance. The 6th path is on the part of the design that already showed variation to the rest of the design in that its underlying pathway direction is different from the other 5 in the original design.

Stage Two/Three: An additional change on stages two and three was made by researcher Tomasz Kaczmarek. This change involved the changing of the the six outer circles. In stage one these circles had a flattened side, in stage 2/3 the circles were filled-out to become fully circular. This is very interesting, and highly unusual. 

Flight: 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 the meantime, you can see some lovely drone images by Billy Breen  and Tomasz Kaczmarek below and some interior shots of the formation, which looks beautiful on the ground. We are enormously grateful to Billy & Tomasz 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. 

Inside the crop circle: We would like to thank Billy Breen, Tomasz Kaczmarek  & Dan Vidler for their fantastic interior shots of this circle in the gallery below. 

Location History: There have been circles in this area for the last few years. Interestingly, the crossroads close to where the circle appeared is called Christian’s Cross – a link back to the first formation of the year – which was itself a crucifix? 

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.
