Reconstruction of the 2017 Battlesbury Hill formation | ||
| 1. |
| Draw a circle. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines. |
| 2. |
| Construct the inscribed square of circle 1, with the sides parallel to the horizontal and vertical centerlines. |
| 3. |
| Construct the inscribed circle of square 2. |
| 4. |
| Construct the inscribed square of circle 3, pointing to the right. |
| 5. |
| Construct the inscribed circle of square 4. |
| 6. |
| Construct a circle centered at the upper righthand angular point of square 2, tangent to circle 5 at the upper righthand side. |
| 7. |
| Copy circle 6 three times, to the other angular points of square 2. |
| 8. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the lower intersection of square 2 and circle 6. |
| 9. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 6, tangent to circle 8 at the upper righthand side. |
| 10. |
| Copy circle 9 three times, to the centers of circles 7. |
| 11. |
| Construct the circumscribed square of circle 8, with the sides horizontally and vertically. |
| 12. |
| Construct a "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the upper righthand angular points of squares 2 and 11. See detail. |
|
| ||
| 13. |
| Repeat step 12 three times, with respect to the other angular points of squares 2 and 11. |
| 14. |
| Construct two pairs of parallel lines, parallel to the diagonals of square 11, tangent to circles 12 and 13 at both sides. See detail. |
|
| ||
| 15. |
| Construct a circle centered at the righthand intersection of circle 1 and the horizontal centerline, passing through the upper lefthand intersection of square 11 and circle 12. See detail. |
|
| ||
| 16. |
| Copy circle 15 to the center of circle 1. |
| 17. |
| Construct a circle centered at the lefthand intersection of circles 6 and 8, tangent to circle 16 at the near side. |
| 18. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 6, tangent to circle 17 at the lefthand side. |
| 19. |
| Copy circle 18 three times, to the centers of circles 7. |
| 20. |
| Draw the connecting line between the centers of circles 1 and 6. |
| 21. |
| Construct a "two-points" circle between the intersections of circles 5 and 9 with line 20. |
| 22. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the center of circle 21. |
| 23. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 6, passing through the center of circle 21. |
| 24. |
| Copy circle 17 to the lower righthand intersection of circles 21 and 22. |
| 25. |
| Copy circle 17 to the upper lefthand intersection of circles 21 and 23. |
| 26. |
| Copy circles 24 and 25 three times, by repeating steps (20, 21, 23,) 24, and 25, with respect to circles 7 in stead of circle 6, as shown. |
| 27. |
| Circles 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 16, 18, 19, 24, 25, and 26, and lines 14, are used for the final reconstruction. |
| 28. |
| Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. |
| 29. |
| Colour all areas corresponding to standing... |
| 30. |
| ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the 2017 Battlesbury Hill formation. |
| 31. |
| The final result, matched with the aerial image. |
