This is the very unusual Ratchet formation below Barbury castle,
which appeared in barley on 08 06 01. Charley Mallet estimates
its 300 feet in diameter, but I think it's more. Everybody
is remarking how it echoes and extends the ratchet which was on
the great Barbury Castle Triangle formation in 1991. There is
a dirt footpath cutting across one side of the circle, but I've
removed it with PhotoShop. The crop in the central circle is
laid down like a pinwheel which turns as you fly around it.
