August 9, 2005 Wiltshire, England -




On August 9, 2005, three crop formations were reported in three Wiltshire County sites.
Each is marked in yellow, along with the Avebury sacred stone circle at the heart of crop formation country.
Northeast of Avebury is Waylands Smithy megalithic site near Ashbury and Uffington Castle, Wiltshire;
southeast is Shalbourne; and straight south of Avebury is Marden.

The Waylands Smithy long barrow lies in a plantation of trees on the famous Ridgeway, not far from the Uffington White Horse and Uffington Castle. Excavations in the 1960s revealed the barrow was constructed in two phases. There is a wooden mortuary enclosure with stone floor that was later covered by a trapezoidal mound of chalk. Inside there are three chambers, one main one and two to the sides.
