Reconstruction of the
Rollright Stone Circle 2-07-2006 formation

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

2. Construct the inscribed nonagon (regular 9-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up.

3. Draw all nine inner diagonals of nonagon 2 (to every fourth angular point).

4. Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the second set of intersections of diagonals 3, as shown.

5. Construct the inscribed nonagon of circle 4, pointing down.

6. Copy circle 1 to the lower angular point of nonagon 5.

7. Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 6 at the upper side.

8. Construct the inscribed nonagon of circle 7, pointing up.

9. Copy circle 1 nine times, to the angular points of nonagon 8.

10. Only circles 9 are required for the reconstruction.

11. Leave out parts invisible in the formation itself.
