Six years elapsed from the crop circle at Tolmare Farm and the next to appear in the Findon countryside.   Then Findon was to be graced with more starling evidence of mysterious circles.   Another circle formation was executed in dramatic form on 28th June 1991 - the map reference being 142 093 and the location out in the countryside near to Findon Park Farm.

It was an incredibly beautiful geometric arrangement of a triplet design of three linking circles in the farmer’s barley. These circles flowed anticlockwise only and the overall spread of the compilation was some 110 feet. Depending on the available light and time of day, the incredible pattern produced a magical effect when viewed from afar. The size was definitely beyond the scope of the amateur hoaxer who would perhaps be stumbling about under cover of darkness.

What shape in the way of fanciful designs would be in store for the Findon district after this? No one could have imagined the complicated bizarre grouping, which arrived just four years later.  Continue with  1995 — Crop Circle Puzzle Below Cissbury Ring.
