There is a new huge formation in the fields below Roulston Scar in an area known as Happy Valley, Sutton Bank near Thirsk North Yorkshire. According to a friend of mine the formation and landscape view was shown yesterday on the BBCs Look North regional weather forecast as the photo of the day sent in by a viewer. I didn’t see it myself as I don’t live in the area and its not available yet on I player.
My friend has emailed me a photo he took but its not very good, the design looks like an interlocking Yin and Yang pattern which must be several hundred feet long! I would say the crop is probably wheat.
The area looks to be very interesting as Happy valley was an ancient Druid settlement and there is an iron age hill fort at the top of Roulston Scar with Tumulus and Earthworths dotted all around the area. I have sent links relating to the area regarding history and folklore and an OS map.
