This was visible for years both on google earth and from the opposite side of the valley, now not visible which I put down to the exceptionally wet period from last summer onwards countering the crop mark effect seen in dryer conditions. The tanks have been going round the hillside and there are fungus rings too complicating matters but this seemed different.I assumed the Water Lane circle to be a ring ditch from a barrow there are known barrows down the valley towards Enford, I think yours is the same or a henge ditch.<br /><br />Best. <br />PeterPeter Dunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05417233316425767843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5787185370858787658.post-76848964105044508092013-04-11T20:36:11.829+01:002013-04-11T20:36:11.829+01:00Hi Tim,

Endless plowing would have destroyed a real Henge or other earthwork long ago.<br /><br />Dry weather Crop Marks for Iron Age monuments do show up of course, but there's no sign of that here.<br />My vote's for a Crop Circle.<br /><br />NeilND Wisemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12980722277970551828noreply@blogger.com
