Historically the county of Wiltshire in South West England, home of Stonehenge, has been the focal point for crop circles. Nearly 90 percent of all crop circles have been found in this area, typically in the summer months. However, this season has been slower than usual, with two of the most dramatic and impressive formations being found in the beginning of August.
So far, many of the crop circles of the season have been sub-par. In fact, according to the UK newspaper the Daily Express, locals have taken to calling many of them “crap circles.” However, the first of the two this month that demonstrate the typical awe-inspiring artistry that crop circle enthusiasts are used to was found on August 6, in Monument Hill, near the town of Devizes in Wiltshire.
