| 2. |
| Construct the inscribed hexagon (regular 6-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up. |
| 3. |

| 4. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 3 at the lefthand side. |
| 5. |
| Construct the circumscribed hexagon of circle 4, pointing up. |
| 6. |
| Construct the circumscribed circle of hexagon 5. |
| 7. |
| Construct three circles, centered at the upper lefthand, upper righthand, and lower angular points of hexagon 5, all passing through the center of circle 1. |
| 8. |
| Draw a line between the center of cirle 1 and the upper righthand angular point of hexagon 2. |
| 9. |
| Copy circle 3 to the lower intersection of circle 6 and the vertical centerline. |
| 10. |
| Construct a circle centered at the upper intersection of circle 9 and the vertical centerline, passing through the lower righthand angular point of hexagon 5. Call this angular point A. |
| 11. |
| Construct a circle centered at the intersection of circle 10 and line 8, passing through point A. |
| 12. |

| 13. |
| Construct a circle centered at the upper intersection of circle 12 and the vertical centerline, passing through point A. |
| 14. |
| Construct a circle centered at the intersection of circle 13 and line 8, passing through point A. |
| 15. |
| Copy circle 3 to the upper intersection of circle 12 and the vertical centerline. |
| 16. |
| Construct a circle centered at the upper intersection of circle 15 and the vertical centerline, passing through point A. |
| 17. |
| Construct a circle centered at the intersection of circle 16 and line 8, passing through point A. |
| 18. |
| Copy circle 3 to the upper intersection of circle 15 and the vertical centerline. |
| 19. |
| Construct a circle centered at the upper intersection of circle 18 and the vertical centerline, passing through point A. |
| 20. |
| Construct a circle centered at the intersection of circle 19 and line 8, passing through point A. |
| 21. |
| Copy circle 3 to the upper intersection of circle 18 and the vertical centerline. |
| 22. |
| Construct a circle centered at the upper intersection of circle 21 and the vertical centerline, passing through point A. |
| 23. |
| Construct a circle centered at the intersection of circle 22 and line 8, passing through point A. |
| 24. |
| Construct a circle centered at the intersection of circle 1 and line 8, tangent to circle 14 at the near side. |
| 25. |
| Construct the "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the center of circle 24 and its intersection with line 8. |
| 26. |
| Copy circle 25 two times, to the center of circle 1, and its lower intersection with the vertical centerline. |
| 27. |
| Construct a line parallel to the vertical centerline, tangent to circles 26 at the righthand sides. |
| 28. |
| Remove all redundant parts from circles 6, 11, 14, 17, 20, and 23, and line 27, such that... |
| 29. |
| ...this pattern remains. |
| 30. |
| Repeat all necessary steps to copy pattern 29, while mirroring with respect to the vertical centerline. |
| 31. |
| Repeat all necessary steps to copy and rotate patterns 29 and 30, together, with respect to the upper lefthand and upper righthand angular points of hexagon 5. |
| 32. |
| Circles 1, and 7, and patterns 29, 30, and 31, are used for the final reconstruction. |
| 33. |
| Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. |
| 34. |
| Colour all areas corresponding to standing... |
| 35. |
| ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the 2023 Eastleigh Court formation. |
| 36. |
| The final result, matched with the aerial image. |
