The clue is in the colour of the soil, working on the basis that where ever it was it doesn't snow in geometric patterns ;D as the green fields are still green then the soil has to be mixed with chalk. Largest area with chalk geology and Neolithic burial mounds in Britain?......Salisbury Plane Simples ;)

Absolutely spot on Chef, Stonehenge is the large henge at the top of the pic. Surprising how many crop marks in the fields around it as well  :)
