| 19. |
| Repeat steps 10, 11 and 12 another six times, for respectively squares (3,8) and (9,8), (4,9) and (8,9), (5,10) and (7,10), (3,4) and (9,4), (4,3) and (8,3), (5,2) and (7,2). |
| 20. |
| Copy circle 2 two times, to the centers of squares (6,1) and (6,11). |
| 21. |

| Copy circle 6 two times, to the centers of the upper and lower circles 23. |
| 25. |
| Draw two parallel lines, tangent to circles 24 at both sides. |
| 26. |
| Copy circle 6 six times, to the centers of circles 10, 13 and 16. |
| 27. |
| Draw three sets of two parallel, horizontal lines, tangent to corresponding pairs of circles 26 at both sides, as shown. |
| 28. |
| Circles 4, 10, 13, 16, 19, 20 and 23, and lines 12, 15, 18, 19, 22, 25 and 27, are used for the final reconstruction. |
| 29. |
| Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. |
| 30. |
| Colour all areas corresponding to standing... |
| 31. |
| ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the 2012 Oxleaze Copse formation. |
| 32. |
| The final result, matched with two aerial images. |
