It would appear that an animal, now absent, has been tethered here and 'mown' a ring in the grass.

One wonders if this group of children watching the plane fly over every saw the picture that was taken. Clearly a plane flying low over Cardigan was something of a novelty in the summer of 1932 and might even have been the highlight of the children's summer holidays. It is perhaps rather surprising just how few of the pictures include people watching, but the scale of this picture suggests it might have been take from a lower than average altitude and possibly involved some circling around to take the collection of five pictures. Why were they taking pictures of Cardigan?
