Shortly after the Conservation Area meadow had been mowed, this sinister symbol was discovered. Kevin Gullible of the British UFO Observers Network said "the scorch-mark is a very clear sign of an alien landing site. Note that the straw at the top is completely undamaged, indicating a heat gradient not achievable by any known technology. The stones could be a message pointing to the place of origin of the craft, or may be a hurried attempt by the authorities to characterise this as a prank by local children or the work of a Young British Artist". Speaking for the Mayor of London, a Mr B. Johnson (no relation) stated "Golly. Look here, any resemblance of this figure to Mr Johnson is purely coincidental. As Archimedes had it, Noli turbare circulos meos." When asked if this could be an ancient site uncovered by mowing, Jacquetta Boncquers, professor of semiotic archaeology studies at the Institute of Ontology said "this symbol clearly signifies the h/earth as m/other". As I say my new book Reclaiming the stones: Towards an ontology of discourses on the Earth Goddess in the herstory of We-sex, the many circular features to be found in our landscape clearly indicate a time before patriarchal hegemony".
