Could this be the first crop circle of the season?

This small oilseed rape formation appeared on top of Waden Hill, Avebury. It overlooks West Kennett Avenue and the large field near Falkner’s Circle which briefly hosted a circle in barley during 2025.

This circle is another throwback to the days of the humble pictogram. Not everyone appreciates such things, but in the late 1980s and early 1990s, circles such as this could be found sprinkled liberally across fields in the area.
