First impression:
It looks like an elastic sheet, originally a circle, being stretched from four corners. I was hoping to find a relationship between the pulled-in area and stretched-out area. The closest ratio of their areas is 40:7 or simply 5.717219
Construction: Divide the X and Y axis length into 10parts and do a 'primary/elementary school' joining of criss-cross lines...this is what you get(below):

This geometry can also be seen from a three-dimensional format. One way is to view it as a pyramid but with its walls not touching the base (see below)....the square is for construction aid.

It's a pyramid, from a three-dimensional outlook, but that circle!. Chosen was a 45deg for the sloping edges, I see no principle on the choosing yet, may be the circle would be helpful in that regard. But for now, this is where I end it at.
Meanwhile, this would make a nice building structure based on such principle within the crop circle. Except that modern form of building and interior decoration is not well place to deal with such uniqueness in structure, and so expensive it would be....thinking about designing one such building though..
Meanwhile, I have not fully connected how the circle comes into the picture.
....After contemplating: Well since in the original crop circle, the circle is shaded, it would as well, vaguely stated, represent a sphere in which case, we can modify our three dimensional models to look as follows:

Hmm...somehow now the sphere comes into play when the selected angle for the edges is 45deg. It touches the most curved part of the curve formed by criss-crossing lines but not very exactly yet. It would thus be tempting to say that the crop circle maker was based the design from a three or multi-dimensional geometric artifact upon which the crop circle was created.

However this may be just a bit of this.
Earlier on another geometric study had been made on yet another crop circle whose artifact is to be described further...possibly connecting both crop circles. Now it would be tempting to think of the maker having used the same artifact in three dimension to create different views in two dimension.
