Anyone know what this is?

I was studying a zoomed in version of the LIDAR for the avebury area I posted yesterday and spotted this:
https://houseprices.io/lab/lidar/map?ref=SU1183869019
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.420065,-1.8311421,387m/data=!3m1!1e3
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.

Years ago at work I was told of an incident where the Ordnance Survey using aerial photography picked up an apparent boundary feature running diagonally across a garden, which they showed on their updated version of the large scale map.
This sparked consternation from the landowner and when it was investigated by a surveyor on the ground, it turned out that the "boundary" was actually a washing line hung with sheets on the day the plane flew over.

That's amazing stuff though Juamei, what shapes we make.

You've cracked it Alken...it's a rotary clothes line for the use of travellers along the Ridgeway Path :-)

And there's me thinking travellers were the great unwashed?
Only speaking from my own experiences sleeping around Scotland using the odd mountain stream, you understand. Not that kind of sleeping around, either. Hey, perhaps that's why?
