| 10. |

| 14. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 11, tangent to line 12. |
| 15. |
| Construct a circle centered at the righthand intersection of circles 4 and 14, tangent to circle 9 at the upper righthand side. |
| 16. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 14, tangent to circle 15 at the outer side. |
| 17. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 15, tangent to circle 6 at the upper righthand side. |
| 18. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 14, tangent to circle 17 at the outer side. |
| 19. |
| Construct the inscribed pentagon of circle 18, pointing up. |
| 20. |
| Draw the diagonal of pentagon 19 between the upper lefthand and righthand angular points. |
| 21. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 14, tangent to line 20. |
| 22. |
| Construct the "two-points" circle between the upper intersections of circles 14 and 16 with the vertical centerline. |
| 23. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 22, tangent to line 20. |
| 24. |
| Construct a circle centered at the righthand intersection of circles 14 and 23, tangent to circle 18 at the upper righthand side. |
| 25. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 23, tangent to circle 24 at the outer side. |
| 26. |
| Construct the inscribed pentagon of circle 23, pointing up. |
| 27. |
| Draw the diagonal of pentagon 26 between the upper lefthand and righthand angular points. |
| 28. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 23, tangent to line 27. |
| 29. |
| Construct a circle centered at the righthand intersection of circles 1 and 4, tangent to circle 9 at the lower righthand side. |
| 30. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 29 at the outer side. |
| 31. |
| Copy circles 6 and 13 two times, to the upper lefthand and righthand angular points of pentagon 2. |
| 32. |
| Remove all redundant parts from circles 1, 4, 6, 9, 13, 14, 16, 18, 21, 23, 25, 28, 30, and 31, such that... |
| 33. |
| ...this pattern remains. |
| 34. |
| Copy pattern 33 four times, from the upper to the other angular points of pentagon 2, while rotating around the center of circle 1, as shown. |
| 35. |
| Circle 10, and patterns 33 and 34, together, make up the final reconstruction. |
| 36. |
| Colour all areas corresponding to standing... |
| 37. |
| ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the 2026 Jack's Castle Plantation formation. |
| 38. |
| The final result, matched with the aerial image. |
