Detail & Location: This event included two circles and was first reported on the 6th of July 2025. The circles were in adjacent fields, one in a field of mature barley, the other in a field of maturing long-eared wheat. The barley circle was the smaller measuring approx 30ft, while the larger circle in wheat (with a woven floor-lay) measured about 50-60ft.
Quoted in extract — 375 characters of 1,083. The whole document is on the page that published it.

Geometry
3 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 f2bfa523 | ≈ none found | 2 | 1 | 1.0 | 0.1691 |
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.
