5. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed circle of square 4. | |||
6. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed square of circle 5, sides horizontal and vertical. | |||
7. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed circle of square 6. | |||
8. | ![]() | Copy circle 7 to the righthand intersection of circle 5 and the horizontal centerline. Move this circle (copy and delete original) to its own corresponding intersection. | |||
9. | ![]() | Copy circle 3 to the righthand intersection of circle 8 and the horizontal centerline. Move this circle to its own corresponding intersection. | |||
10. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the center of circle 9. | |||
11. | ![]() | Copy circle 3 two times, to the upper and lefthand intersections of circle 10 with the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
12. | ![]() | Copy circle 10 to its own lower intersection with the vertical centerline. | |||
13. | ![]() | Draw the connecting line between the intersections of circles 10 and 12. | |||
14. | ![]() | Copy circle 5 to the intersection of line 13 and the vertical centerline. | |||
15. | ![]() | Copy circles 5 and 14 as a whole two times, from the center of circle 5 to the lower intersections of circles 10 and 12 with the vertical centerline. | |||
16. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 9, passing through the center of circle 8. | |||
17. | ![]() | Copy circle 16 two times, to the centers of circles 11. | |||
18. | ![]() | Copy circle 1 six times, to the intersections of circles 16 and 17 with the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
19. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 9, tangent to circle 12 at the upper righthand side. | |||
20. | ![]() | Copy circle 19 two times, to the centers of circles 11. | |||
21. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the righthand intersection of circle 10 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to circle 10 at the opposite side. | |||
22. | ![]() | Copy circle 21 two times, to the lefthand intersection of circle 10 and the horizontal centerline, and to the lower intersection of circle 10 and the vertical centerline. | |||
23. | ![]() | Copy circle 1 six times, to the intersections of circles 19 and 20 with circles 21 and 22. | |||
24. | ![]() | Draw two lines, one between the centers of the uppermost circle 18 and the lowermost circle 15, the other between the centers of the leftmost and rightmost circles 18. | |||
25. | ![]() | Circles 5, 9, 11, 14, 15, 18, 21, 22 and 23, and lines 24, are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
26. | ![]() | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. High resolution dwf-file | |||
27. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... High resolution dwf-file | |||
28. | ![]() | ...or to flattened plants, and finish the reconstruction of the Avebury Down formation of 28-09-2008. High resolution dwf-file | |||
