I believe it may be the hill directly behind the farm but I'm not 100% sure, can anyone help?

Not right now, the best image online seems to be this enhanced on from the swindon advertiser: http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/resources/images/2574764/ I'm sure I've seen the undoctored ones though. Unrelatedly I was looking on google maps for the Fox Hill figures and saw these: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.5325091,-1.6693913,284m/data=!3m1!1e3 Which dont seem to be on pastscape. Which is slightly interesting :)

The dotted lines are said to show shadows 3. Shadows can ONLY be cast by the very top of the soil 4. The very top of the soil has been turned over by the plough many times 5. Ergo the dotted lines are nothing.... yes?

Aye, I know, I was trying to find an image without the dotted line.

As you will have picked up there is a large amount of scepticism about the existence of such a hill figure as anything other than a hoax.

If it's any help I can supply the grid refs of literally thousands of fields containing nothing at all.

I'd just like to take a look for myself that's all, having a deep interest in things such as this. Now looking at the map and going by the description I make it round about SU 234 813 (ish) but if anyone has anything more precise then I'd appreciate it.
