Original news
This case was uncovered by Andy Thomas, who discovered it in an old copy of Sussex Notes and Queries, published by the Sussex Archaeological Society. We believe the publication date is 1937, but this is not clear. (It is, in any respect, obviously from an old publication and not a modern volume.)
This is an impressive case, for it provides:
Eye witness site description
Photograph of site
Diagram of formation
The photograph is the earliest crop circle photo currently known. It is shown below. It does not reproduce well, but a clearly defined ring is visible in the foreground at the bottom of the image.
The diagram shows four rings (in no meaningful formation), one of which is incomplete due to its overlapping the field boundary.
The site description is again persuasive. The author of the piece is Eliot Cecil Curwen (1895-1967), a Sussex-based archaeologist and writer, and he reports as follows:
"This [ring] was found to consist of a circle in which the barley was 'lodged' or beaten down."
There is little which needs to be added by us. Taken as a whole, the evidence in this case is comprehensive and on a par with some reports in later books such as Circular Evidence.
