This formation was first reported in the morning of May 24 2008. The night of 23/24 May was mostly dry, with a few showers over the region where the circle was discovered. The glyph can be viewed from the road that runs to the top of the White Horse at Hackpen Hill

The formation spans across approximately 620 feet of young barley crop. The laid crop within the glyph was found to be largely neat and clean, with the majority of the downed barley neatly bent at the base. Some 40% of the crop has recovered to its original upright posture and continuers to grow in an apparently healthy fashion.

The center of the glyph was noted as being moderately damaged. Given the delicate nature of these young plants, and also the spindly resign of the circle, the damage found within the circle was considered consistent with the activities of at least a half dozen previous visitors.

Where the tram-lines intersect the glyph thick curtains of standing crop remain perfectly intact, as if completely untouched by whatever created the circle.
