Bluestone Heath Road, Worlaby, nr Louth, Lincolnshire. June 18th 2011

No aerial shots of this simple, but elegant looking formation due simply to it's location, and the fact that most if not all UK crop circle researchers/photographers seemed to be based in or around the Wilshire area. It seems a shame, and makes me wonder what other gems have been missed due to their locations.

*Update, aerial shots now available*:





Field Report From Steven Fuller, Lincolnshire:

An amicable but sceptical farmer kindly gave permission for myself and friend to enter his crop field. He told me that it was defiantly not there on Friday night (17th June). 
Weather during formation appearance was mainly light rain. 
A natural amphitheatre alongside the prehistoric Bluestone heath Road is the spectacular setting for this eloquent formation.  
·         Estimated at 267 feet in diameter
·         Laid out on the lowest part of the curved basin
·         Soil appeared to be slightly dryer in the formation than other more elevated parts of the same field
·         All stems laid down in a clockwise direction
·         Many of the young barley crop appeared bent over with excessive moisture retained in the lower stems
·         Some plants remaining upright along the edge of intersecting tramlines
·         Some bent nodes were visible as were some in the tramlines on other parts of the field out of the formation
·         Some plants seem to have been cut off level with top leaf and a few had been bent over revealing an opening on the stem which was hard
·         Unusual crop flow in some parts of the smaller channels.
