| 16. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 9, tangent to circle 15 at the lower side. |
| 17. |
| Copy circle 11 to the lower intersection of circle 15 and the vertical centerline. |
| 18. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 9, tangent to circle 17 at the lower side. |
| 19. |
| Copy circles 16 and 18 three times, to the centers of circles 7 and 8. |
| 20. |
| Construct a circle centered at the intersection of the righthand side of hexagon 2 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to circle 12 at the righthand side. |
| 21. |
| Copy circle 20 to the center of circle 9. |
| 22. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 21 at the upper side. |
| 23. |
| Copy circle 20 to the lower intersection of circle 9 and the vertical centerline. |
| 24. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 9, tangent to circle 23 at the lower side. |
| 25. |
| Copy circle 20 to the righthand intersection of circles 22 and 24. |
| 26. |
| Construct two circles concentric to circle 25, tangent to circles 10 and 12, both at the nearest sides. |
| 27. |
| Copy circles 25 and 26, while mirroring them, relative to the vertical centerline. |
| 28. |
| Repeat steps 25, 26 and 27 three times, with respect to circles 7 and 8, with corresponding relative orientations, as shown. |
| 29. |
| Construct a circle, tangent to circle 25 at the righthand side, tangent to its closest corresponding circle 28 at the lefthand side, and tangent to circle 10 at the nearest side, as shown. |
| 30. |
| Construct two circles concentric to circle 29, tangent to circles 1 and 12, both at the nearest sides. |
| 31. |
| Copy circles 29 and 30, while mirroring them, relative to the vertical centerline. |
| 32. |
| Only circles 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 19, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 and 31, hexagon 2 and triangle 3 are needed for the final reconstruction. |
| 33. |
| Remove all parts not present within the formation itself. |
| 34. |
| Colour all areas with standing... |
| 35. |
| ...or with flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the 2007 White Horse Milk Hill formation. |
| 36. |
| The final result, matched with the aerial image. |
