FIELD REPORT by Stuart Dike: This formation was located in quite a remote part of the Avebury landscape, posi- tioned about a couple of hundred yards out the back of West Kennett Long Barrow. It is another fine addition to the Koch designs witnessed over the last three years. Indeed, the square geometry has been a main fea- ture of the formations of 1999. Five main squares are involved in the con- struction of this design, with the hidden squares creating the outer edge of the pat- tern. The circles placed on the perimeter are well formed, but visiting a formation at this stage in the season seems to create a messy floor construction—the plants not quite as supple as they would be earlier on in the season. 60 + NEXUS OCTOBER — NOVEMBER 1999
