Was looking at a possible job, there is an issue along the west line.
While looking at the newest photos I noticed a very pronounced ring.
Going back it disappears, but it is clear in the two newest photos and a very strange H C near the upper right, that is a puzzle, it does show up is some older ones too, although very washed out.
That's Holy Cow marking the corners he sets.

lol, could be.
Dog or animal tethered?
Runs around the extremity of the leash?
What's the scale of the image? How large a ring?
I had one the other day had what looked like a building where there shouldn't be one. Zoomed in and it disappeared. Weird.

Actually it's a known tipi ring area, although the big one seems a bit large. The C in the HC might be one, not sure what the H would be. Normally the door is facing east, so I'm told, which aligns with the opening in the C.
I have come across them in that area.

Not related to this discussion but nevertheless interesting.
Might be a Fairy Ring.

Doesn't look like a bombing target, but you might find this pretty cool.

That is cool, as far as Fairy rings, it's dry land so mushrooms aren't an issue. 😉
Some plants grow out from their point of germination in a circular pattern. I remember reading an article about someone discovering plants in Africa that were hundreds of miles from each other which, when viewed from space, appeared to emanate from a common point. Genetic testing showed that they were all genetically identical. The original plant had grown outward for centuries from this point, and today are widely separated small arcs,
I always thought the "Divine Bovine" left Holy cow pies as corners.????
If it was here you would be looking at a ring fort for the circle.
When you figure that one out, can you tell me what this one is? Or these two if you can see a little one closer to Seagull Road.
My neighbor's yard has a circle like that where an above ground pool used to sit. About half the circumference was slightly below grade and the hole was filled when the pool was removed. Serveral years have passed but the circle is still visible due to differences in the soil, type of grass, or maybe the new soil has fewer nutrients in it.
Reservoirs? Or their pads?
There's a block in another town that had one removed recently and it clearly shows the circle on Google Earth.
I guess Google Street view still shows the reservoir.

I've sometimes been able to narrow down vague bench mark locations by tracing RR routes that have been gone for 60 years, looking on Google Earth at the difference in vegetation across crop fields.
