Hackpen Hill, nr Broad Hinton,Wiltshire, 8th July 2017, wheat, 150ft approx.
Hackpen Hill is a regular site for crop circles and many have been seen there over the years. They do not always occur in the same field every year, sometimes they appear at the top of the hill by the
ancient Ridgeway path that routes from Avebury and onto Barbury Castle. However, this field did have a circle in 2016 and in fact one of the top too.
The nearby Hackpen White Horse was cut to commemorate the coronation of Queen Victoria in 1838.
The circle is in a field of wheat and as you can see from the photos below the
field was full of discoloured patches, this is due to random spraying by the farmer – where random patches are sprayed and some are not. The formation measures approximately 150ft and is a interesting six-fold design, harlequin-esque design – a duality of light and dark.
This circle is open to the public. You will be asked for a small donation at the field side with the farmer collecting money for the
Brighter Futures cancer charity. Please give generously, it’s wonderful to have a farmer with such an open heart.
