A recreation of an iconic crop circle that inspired a Led Zeppelin album cover has appeared near the grave of drummer John Bonham.

The famous Eastfield Pictogram was first spotted in July 1990 in Alton Barnes, Wilts., England.

The image of the mysterious crop circle was used on the cover of Led Zeppelin’s "Remasters" album.

Last week, a copy of the crop circle appeared in a field 90 miles away from the original in Rushock, Worcs.

The site is close to the grave of the band's drummer John Bonham who died at 32 following a mammoth drinking binge in September 1980.

Pictures of the Rushock crop circle have been shared on The Croppie website.

A post said: "As you might expect, allegations have surfaced that this circle was a paid-for commission.

"The Croppie has investigated and there appears to be no proof of this whatsoever.

"We suggest croppies take this formation for what it is: a reproduction, remaster, even, of the most iconic crop circle of all time.”

The discovery of the original 600 foot pictogram in 1990 caused a global frenzy and ignited a debate over whether these formations were the result of something unexplained.

Photographer Kris Malford, who snapped the new Rushock crop circle, said: “I just find them magical – the happiness they bring to people.

“They make people think about what’s going on in the world around you.”
