The one near West Kennett long barrow looks to me like a triple "faith" group :the Cross of Christianity, the Hebrew Star of David, and the crescent moon of the Muslim faith. But the Star of Davis has six points.

West Kennett of July 26: Venus conjunction with the Sun on August 18?

Although still waiting for an aerial view, the new crop picture from West Kennett appears to represent a conjunction of Venus with the Sun on August 18. The five pointed star represents planet Venus, embedded within a second symbol for Venus as an open circle with a cross on top. These two symbols then join to a larger circle that may represent our Sun. Both kinds of symbol are aligned along a field tramline, suggestive of conjunction. The near future date of conjunction will be August 18, or precisely the same date as shown in lunar cycle IV at East Field. Previously, on July 1, a conjunction of Venus with the Moon on May 19 was illustrated in a crop picture from Germany.
