Reconstruction of the
2021 Rodfield Lane formation

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

2. Construct the inscribed regular 16-sided polygon of circle 1, pointing up. Number the angular points clockwise 1-16, starting at the top.

3. Draw the connecting line between angular points nrs. 2 and 5.

4. Draw the connecting line between angular points nrs. 3 and 16.

5. Construct a circle centered at angular point nr. 1, passing through the intersection of lines 3 and 4.

6. Copy circle 5 to the center of circle 1.

7. Draw the connecting line between the center of circle 5 and its lefthand intersection with circle 1.

8. Draw a line from the center of circle 1 to the midpoint of line 7, and extend this line upto circle 5.

9. Construct a line from the intersection of circle 1 and line 8, perpendicular to this line and extending to its intersection with the vertical centerline.

10. Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the intersection of line 9 and the vertical centerline.

11. Construct a circle centered at the intersection of lines 3 and 4, tangent to circle 10 at the upper righthand side.

12. Copy circle 11 to the center of circle 1.

13. Draw two lines, from the upper intersection of circle 6 and the vertical centerline to angular points nrs. 2 and 16.

14. Copy lines 13 seven times, from the other corresponding points at circle 6 to the other corresponding even numbered angular points, as shown.

15. Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to line 3.

16. Draw eight rays of polygon 2, from the center to the even numbered angular points.

17. Draw the connecting line between angular point nr. 2 and the intersection of circle 15 and ray 16 nr. 14.

18. Draw the connecting line between angular point nr. 16 and the intersection of circle 15 and ray 16 nr. 4.

19. Copy lines 17 and 18 seven times, to the other corresponding angular points and intersections, as shown.

20. Draw two lines, from the intersection of lines 17 and 18 to the intersections of circle 12 with rays 16 nrs. 2 and 16.

21. Copy lines 20 seven times, between the other corresponding intersections, as shown.

22. Draw the connecting line between angular points nrs. 2 and 15.

23. Copy lines 4 and 22 seven times, between the other corresponding angular points, as shown.

24. Circle 10, and lines 4, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23, are used for the final reconstruction.

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

26. Colour all areas corresponding to standing...

27. ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the 2021 Rodfield Lane formation.

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