7. | ![]() | Copy circle 6 to the center of circle 2. | |||
8. | ![]() | Copy circle 6 to the lefthand intersection of circle 5 and the horizontal centerline. | |||
9. | ![]() | Construct a "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the lefthand intersection of circle 7 and the righthand intersection of circle 8, both with the horizontal centerline. | |||

13. | ![]() | Construct a "two-points" circle between the righthand intersection of circle 8 and the horizontal centerline, and the center of circle 10. | |||
14. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the righthand intersection of circle 5 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to circle 9 at the righthand side. | |||
15. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 14 at the righthand side. | |||
16. | ![]() | Copy circle 6 to the righthand intersection of circle 15 and the horizontal centerline. | |||
17. | ![]() | Construct a "two-points" circle between the center of circle 8 and the lefthand intersection of circle 16 and the horizontal centerline. | |||
18. | ![]() | Construct a "two-points" circle between the lefthand intersections of circles 1 and 13 with the horizontal centerline. | |||
19. | ![]() | Copy circle 18 to the center of circle 16. | |||
20. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 19 at the righthand side. | |||
21. | ![]() | Copy circle 6 two times, the first to the righthand intersection of circle 20, the second to the lefthand intersection of the first, both with the horizontal centerline. | |||
22. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to the first circle 21, tangent to the second at the lefthand side. | |||
23. | ![]() | Copy circle 22 to its lower intersection with circle 20, and move this circle to its own corresponding intersection. | |||
24. | ![]() | Construct a "two-points" circle between the inner intersections of circles 21 with the horizontal centerline, as shown. | |||
25. | ![]() | Copy circle 24 to the center of circle 23. | |||
26. | ![]() | Copy circle 22 to the upper intersection of circle 20 and the vertical centerline. | |||
27. | ![]() | Copy circle 1 to the lower intersection of circle 26 and the vertical centerline. | |||
28. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 27 at the upper side. | |||
29. | ![]() | Copy circle 22 to the center of circle 27. | |||
30. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the upper intersection of circle 28 and the vertical centerline, tangent to circle 29 at the lower side. | |||
31. | ![]() | Copy circle 6 to the lefthand intersection of circles 28 and 30. | |||
32. | ![]() | Circles 1, 5, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 23, 25 and 31, together, make up the final reconstruction. High resolution dwf-file | |||
33. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... High resolution dwf-file | |||
34. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Barbury Castle (2) formation of 2-07-2011. High resolution dwf-file | |||
