Reconstruction of the
East Kennett Longbarrow 3-05-2009 formation

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

2. Construct the circumscribed octagon(regular 8-sided polygon) of circle 1, with two sides horizontal and two vertical.

3. Construct the circumscribed circle of octagon 2.

4. Construct the inscribed octagon of circle 1, pointing to the right.

5. Construct a circle centered at the upper righthand angular point of octagon 4, passing through the righthand intersection of circle 3 and the horizontal centerline.

6. Copy circle 5 seven times, to the other angular points of octagon 4.

7. Construct the inscribed square of circle 1, with sides horizontal and vertical.

8. Construct a circle centered at the intersection of the righthand side of square 7 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to the righthand sides of octagon 4.

9. Copy circle 8 four times, to the angular points of square 7.

10. Construct a circle centered at the righthand intersection of circle 3 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to circle 1 at the righthand side.

11. Construct a circle concentric to circle 5, tangent to circle 10 at the lower righthand side.

12. Copy circle 11 three times, to the other angular points of square 7.

13. Circles 1, 3, 5, 6, 9, 11 and 12 are used for the final reconstruction.

14. Remove all redundant parts not visible in the formation itself.
