Report on Dorset CC.
By the time the CGI rep. arrived at the scene there were already people dancing around in the CC. We did not enter at this time but located the farmer who later gave permission for us to enter and take photos (mid-evening). We understood tram line entry would be allowed if the crops were respected and not damaged. We returned to the CC to find the centre of the CC looking a ‘bit sad’ let’s say, due to the aforementioned dancing and revelry. We fear that the farmer may have a change of heart should he see this damage for himself. Any attempts to do a ground assessment at this point would have been pointless as the crop was so badly damaged by foot tread. To be cautious, as a result of this earlier foot tread any future claims as to the CCs mysterious/non mysterious origin would probably be unreliable.

A good view of the circle can be obtained from the top of the hill but the farm manager has asked people not to enter the field itself.
If I do find more people in the field, I am afraid I will have to consider destroying the formation which is in no one's interest.

Geometry
6 diagram file(s) on this page. measured from the diagram itself, and experimental: the extractor's rotational order is right on 88.8 % of a 200-diagram hand-labelled set against a gate of 90 %, so read a number here beside the picture rather than instead of it.
| diagram | rotational symmetry | elements | rings | mirror | fill |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| cc 2b727422 | ≈ 3-fold score 0.944 | 1 | 2 | 0.997 | 0.266 |
Experimental, and marked ≈ wherever it appears. These numbers are read off a drawing, not off the field: the extractor's rotational order agrees with a hand-labelled set on 88.8 per cent of 200 diagrams against a gate of 90 per cent, its element count is within one on 97.5 per cent, and its ring count is not calibrated at all. Nothing in the analysis tree is derived from the rotational order while that gate is unmet.
Diagrams that look like these: cc 2b727422 · ccc 04635235 · ccc 149d7f97 · ccc 2b727422 · ccc cb19e897— the nearest by perceptual hash. The whole archive is browsable by shape in the shape section, and this formation's own diagrams go straight into that grid: show them in the grid.
