Barbury Castle Crop Circle


"From first glance, it appears that this enormous design, near the banks of Neolithic Hill Fort Barbury Castle shows echoes of the ratchet, which was one portion of the Burbary Castle triangle/tetrahedron of 1991. Its is still regarded as "the mother of all pictograms". The proportions within this 2008 event indicate a far more intricate rachet than its 1991 predecessor." (1)

Found in a local barley field, this crop circle (roughly 285ft. in diameter) is close to the ancient hill fort of Barbary Castle (Swindon in Wiltshire). It appeared on the 1st of June 2008. Resembling it's 1991 predisessor in both location and size, this circle has numerous mind-bending possibilities and explanations within this formation. A fascinating conundrum. There are multiple theories as far as a logical explanation for this attempt at what some assume to be communication. Everything from obvious indications of it being an astronomical map, to some kind of diatonic musical ratio, and even the epicness of Pi has been found within its fascinating geometric shapes, up to the first 10 decimals.

Multiple meanings, multiple locations; a new world of possibility; Wiltshire Cereologists certainly appear to have their hands full with this formation.
