Hosted by the safer sex and drugs forum a 16 year old project based on user engagement, education and harm reduction.

First Oxfordshire Crop Circle Found in Oxfordshire, near Denton on A496 approx 6 miles SE of Oxford. The Crop is Oil seed rape. The Formation can be seen from a Minor road off the B480 and the OS map reference is SP5900142 OS Sheet 164.

The formation is a simple circle of 45ft approx. Diameter with clockwise orientation. The access a very difficult, it is along way from road and the crop is over 5ft tall. We estimate that it is about two weeks old and the laid stems are strongly recovering. There is very little breakage of stems and a spiral. The lay is just discernible. The centre is quite bare. The field is close to a series of bridle paths and horse gallops, but no people were at all seen while we were there.
