Attached photographs (1)
inferred link These pictures did not come with a source record of this formation. Each one is a single-photograph archive entry whose own date and place the index matched to this formation; nothing about the formation itself comes from them. The rule, the score and the evidence are printed with each record so the link can be checked, and the credit stays with the photograph.
Date
27 August 2016, to day precision. What a source records is the day a formation was found and reported.

This was to be last circle we recorded from the 2016 season and with it concludes our coverage of the season, which is now at and end.
This double ringed circle could just be the last of the 2016 season, measuring approximately 120ft is was placed towards the side of a wheat field on Overton Hill, while many often talk of a grand finale, it is more often the case that the final circles of the season are smaller more simpler designs; the beginning of the season which starts slowly, like the end, seems to ebb to a conclusion.

Geometry
2 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 4ada7532 | ≈ continuous (concentric circles) | 3 | 3 | 0.995 | 0.1234 |
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 4ada7532— 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.
