This circle was reported on the 10th of July and is a field of long-eared wheat. The circle measures approximately 200ft in diameter and has a very interesting ‘wavy’ lay inside the formation. We have not heard anything indicating that the farmer is permitting visitors, so please do not enter this field unless you have express permission by the farmer to do so.

This part of Hampshire has a long crop circle history with some of the earliest recorded crop circles appearing there in the 1970s and 1980s. The central feature of the landscape here is the Cheesefoot Head (or Matterly Bowl) which is a stunning natural amphitheatre that affords spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. In years gone by the Bowl was the location for several spectacular crop circles, but it is no longer planted with crops and now plays host to the Boomtown Fair music and culture festival each summer in August.

This design has a nine-fold geometry, but its beauty lies in the laid crop where nine arcs can be seen and then the crop has been flattened in a graceful wave-like pattern – it looked stunning in the late afternoon sunlight. Nine is the number of Threshold because it is the last of the single digit numbers and therefore it stands on the threshold of the move to double-digits. Nine contains three trinities (thrice three), so it is also seen as the the principle of three taken to its highest level.

It has been over ten years since we first began the Summer Crop Circle Lectures and during that time the crop circle phenomenon, while remaining constant, has changed enormously. The way we think about the subject and interact with the circles has moved on and so has the way we do our conference, with emphasis on community and the sharing of ideas and experiences.

Our Ethos: You’ll find our conference is a little less about entertainment and more about community and collegiality. It’s an event where the crop circles are not only enjoyed and celebrated, but where people can come and join in the conversation, share their experiences and participate in a more inclusive and collaborative way. As important as the circles themselves are the people who are drawn to them, often full of experiences and stories, insight and wisdom. It is they (in addition to our speakers) that make up the ‘body conference’. As always, our speakers will be drawn from those who have actually spent time in the fields and those who are actively engaged in the endeavour to better understand the phenomenon. Our speakers will not just be published authors, or professional speakers, but people who genuinely have something interesting and progressive to say about the phenomenon – some will be updating us about where their research has taken them in the last year, or over several years.
