There have now been three instances, and there may yet be fourth, of the appearance of this perfectly executed and precisely made formation The aerial photos show that all three seem to be identical replicas in dimension and also that relative to adjacent tramlines, their centres and the outer edges are identically placed.
What are the chances that a human team of circlemakers could achieve these perfect copies and their positioning during darkness and why would they even attempt to do it ? I think the true makers are trying to make the the farmer realise that his defacement of the original formation in June led to the second formation appearing and cutting out this has led to the third repeat. He may then come to see that his actions have caused a much greater loss of his crop than would have been the case had he left the original formation undamaged. Lets hope he gets the message…

Three similar crop circles have been reported from West Kennett until now. The figure resembles the aerial picture of the Maracana Stadium.
Perhaps, the circle makers are watching the World Cup from their space ships (drinking beer and betting as well?) and that is what they have been trying to tell us! LOL!

The Farmer has already cut out the formation.
It looked very similar to an earlier crop circle around this location on 22nd June 2014 see image below

Geometry
4 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 0f582f42 | ≈ continuous (concentric circles) | 4 | 4 | 0.991 | 0.3676 |
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 0f582f42 · ccc 0f582f42 · ccc 189e88f9— 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.
