Wow I hadn't noticed that come along last summer. Here is the national geographic article:

Also, for fun, here is the google map photo of the same field. Notice how you can't see any of the marks!

Just over a year ago there a bit of publicity ,but it has all gone a bit quiet since . There may well be Neolithic -Bronze Age monuments but they are not certain .The crop marks were first noted 2003 so no great rush from the usual suspects , why not ?

I emailed Helen Wickstead to see how things were progressing but she is on maternity leave at present. Says she'll reply when time allows, so look forward to that.
