I ran across one once. Believe it was from natural causes.
It was a single circle about 15 feet in diameter in a field with no paths or broken stems leading up to it. So I moved as gingerly as I could through the field to avoid doing damage ... but I left a path of sorts regardless.
IIRC, the grass in the circle was flattened and all laying in a counter-clockwise direction. No stalks of the plant were broken in the circle, just flattened down.
My take was that the cause was a dust devil had touched down long enough to push the plants down while twisting them.
Of course, this field was across a road from an institute for research in physics, so who knows.
Cheers
