Reconstruction of the
2022 Kiteland Cottages formation

1. Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines.

2. Construct the circumscribed square of circle 1, with horizontal and vertical sides.

3. Draw the connecting line between the center of circle 1 and the upper righthand angular point of square 2.

4. Construct the inscribed square of circle 1, with one angular point on line 3.

5. Draw the connecting line between the lefthand and righthand intersections of square 4 with the horizontal centerline. Divide this line into ten equal parts, and number the nodes 1 - 9 from left to right.

6. Construct five concentric circles, centered at the lefthand intersection of square 4 and the horizontal centerline, passing through nodes 5 nrs. 1 through 5, and number these circles accordingly.

7. Construct five concentric circles, centered at the righthand intersection of square 4 and the horizontal centerline, passing through nodes 5 nrs. 5 through 9, and number these circles accordingly.

8. Draw eight horizontal lines, tangent to circles 6 and 7 (except the outer circles) at both sides. Number these lines 1 - 8 from top to bottom.

9. Construct the "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the intersections of line 8 nr. 2 with circles 7 nrs. 5 and 6.

10. Copy circle 9 to the upper intersection of circle 1 and the vertical centerline.

11. Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 10 at the upper side.

12. Construct a circle concentric to circle 9, passing through the centers of circles 6.

13. Copy circle 12 to the center of circle 1.

14. Construct the inscribed square of circle 13, with one angular point on line 3.

15. Circles 1, 6, 7, and 11, squares 4, and 14, and lines 5, and 8, are used for the final reconstruction.

16. Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself.

17. Colour all areas corresponding to standing...

18. ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the 2022 Kiteland Cottages formation.

19.

The final result, matched with two aerial images.
