The Ouroboros (also spelled Oroborus, Uroboros or Uroborus) is an ancient universal symbol depicting a serpent or dragon swallowing its own tail and forming a circle. It has been used to represent many things over the ages, but it most generally symbolizes ideas of cyclicality and primordial unity. The ouroboros has been important in religious and mythological symbolism, but has also been frequently used in alchemical illustrations.

The name ouroboros means "tail-devourer". The depiction of the serpent is believed to have been inspired by the Milky Way, as some ancient texts refer to a serpent of light residing in the heavens.

Plato described a self-eating, circular being as the first living thing in the universe-- an immortal, perfectly constructed animal.

As we reached the maximum elevation at Cannings Cross we were slammed in the face by a surreal image. Stretched across a field of young wheat on our left was a formation that, from our position on the roadside, struck us as being a quite massive and very impressive sight, not to mention a rather refreshing and unique departure from the norm.

We swiftly located the farmer whose field the formation adorned. To our horror he announced to us that he was going to cut the thing down very soon. He advised us that if you need to see it you'd better do it quickly, it isn't gonna be there long? With a sense of great urgency (and with permission) we hurried down the tramlines to get our fill before the formation was lost to the mower, an hour later the glyph had lost all of its central components.  (Note the removal of the central portion of the formation by the farmer.)

An arrangement of some sixty circles spanning 315ft of wheat. At its widest the formation is 104 ft.

At the center there are, or were, twelve standing barrels of wheat, each with a 9ft diameter. These were all extremely well constructed and, it seems, positioned with extreme precision. This core feature has a kind of scalloped enclosure made from flattened circles that radiate out in the
two directions for some considerable distance.

Each of the two lateral arrangements  of downed circles recedes into the distance diminishing in size from 16 to 9.  The whole arrangement tapers off to a fine point with 4 rows of 5 circles joined by 1 row of 3 and a single circle to complete the point.  On the whole a very pleasing formation
with a fine quality lay throughout.

Comment: Because of the irregularities in construction, the different diameters of the circles and spacing, many feel this was a man made formation.
