Reconstruction of the
2012 Windmill Hill (2) formation

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

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

3. Construct the inscribed circle of hexagon 2.

4. Construct a circle centered at the righthand intersection of circle 1 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to circle 1 at the lefthand side. Move this circle (copy and delete original) to its own righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline.

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

6. Construct a circle centered at the righthand intersection of circle 1 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to circle 5 at the lefthand side.

7. Construct a circle concentric to circle 4, tangent to circle 6 at the righthand side.

8. Construct a "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the lefthand intersection of circle 1 and the righthand intersection of circle 4 both with the horizontal centerline.

9. Copy circle 6 to the righthand intersection of circle 8 and the horizontal centerline, and move this circle to its own corresponding intersection.

10. Construct a circle concentric to circle 8, passing through the center of circle 9.

11. Construct a circle concentric to circle 8, tangent to circle 9 at the righthand side.

12. Copy circle 11 to its righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline, and move this circle to its own corresponding intersection.

13. Construct a circle concentric to circle 12, tangent to circle 10 at the righthand side.

14. Construct a circle concentric to circle 12, tangent to circle 8 at the righthand side.

15. Construct a "two-points" circle between the righthand intersections of circles 1 and 14 with the horizontal centerline.

16. Construct a circle concentric to circle 15, tangent to circle 6 at the lefthand side.

17. Copy circle 6 to the righthand intersection of circle 16 and the horizontal centerline.

18. Construct a circle concentric to circle 15, tangent to circle 17 at the righthand side.

19. Copy circle 1 to the righthand intersection of circle 14, and move this circle to its own lefthand intersection, both with the horizontal centerline.

20. Copy circle 1 to the righthand intersection of circle 4 and the horizontal centerline, and move this circle to its own corresponding intersection.

21. Construct a circle concentric to circle 20, tangent to circle 7 at the righthand side.

22. Copy circle 6 to the lefthand intersection of circle 21 and the horizontal centerline.

23. Construct a circle concentric to circle 20, tangent to circle 22 at the lefthand side.

24. Copy circles 21 and 23 to the righthand intersection of circle 20 and the horizontal centerline.

25. Construct two circles concentric to circle 1, tangent to circles 24 at the righthand sides.

26. Copy circles 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, and 23, as a whole, while mirroring with respect to the vertical centerline.

27. Circles 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 25 and 26, are used for the final reconstruction.

28. Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself.

29. Colour all areas corresponding to standing...

30. ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the 2012 Windmill Hill (2) formation.

31. The final result, matched with the aerial image.
