East Kennett

 

This design reported on 3rd May in a Rape field is a small formation approx 100ft in diameter.  It lies very close to the site of an ancient longbarrow near East Kennett and therefore close to the larger longbarrow at West Kennett and not far from Avebury.

Report

 

This small formation showed signs of quite a few visitors in certain areas by the time we visited it, but there were places where the plants were laid perfectly with little or no damage to the stems of the very delicate rape plants. 

 

From the air this design does not show up as cleanly as some, but this is because the rape flowers were not fully in bloom which became evident on the ground, so the field itself was a lot less yellow than those with riper plants.
