Reconstruction of the
2026 Odstone Barn formation

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

2. Construct the inscribed regular nine-sided polygon of circle 1, pointing up.

3. Construct the inscribed circle of polygon 2.

4. Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 3, pointing up.

5. Construct the inscribed circle of triangle 4.

6. Construct the bisector of the horizontal and vertical centerlines, as shown.

7. Construct the inscribed square of circle 5 with an angular point on line 6.

8. Construct a circle centered at the upper intersection of circle 3 and the vertical centerline, tangent to circle 1 at the upper side.

9. Copy circle 8 to the upper intersection of circle 5 and the vertical centerline.

10. Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 9 at the upper side.

11. Divide each of the four sides of square 7 into fifteen equal parts.

12. Draw two sets of fourteen horizontal and vertical connecting lines between division nodes 11, as shown.

13. Circles 1, 3, and 10, square 7, and lines 12, are used for the final reconstruction.

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

15. Colour all areas corresponding to standing...

16. ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the 2026 Odstone Barn formation.

17. The final result, matched with the aerial image.
