I was studying a zoomed in version of the LIDAR for the avebury area I posted yesterday and spotted this:

Checked the Wiltshire HER and it doesn't seem to have been noted. I thought it might be a crop circle as there is one visible on the LIDAR to the North East of Avebury, but there it is on a google maps satellite image as well.

Hmm, probably just a crop circle as the google maps image also has the crop circle to the north east of Avebury so must have been taken around the same time as the LIDAR.

As you say Juamei, it is probably the 'ghost' of a crop circle - they seem to stay in the landscape for quite a while after the crop has gone.
