2018 Winterbourne Bassett formation
In the next sixteen steps, steps 6, 7, 8, and 9, are repeated - mutatis mutandis - four times.

Reconstruction of the 2018 Winterbourne Bassett formation | ||
| 1. |
| Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. |
| 2. |
| Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 1, pointing down. |
| 3. |
| Draw three rays of circle 1, to the angular points of triangle 2, and extend these lines. |
| 4. |
| Construct a circle centered at the lower angular point of triangle 2, passing through its upper righthand angular point. |
| 5. |
| Copy circle 4 two times, to the other angular points of triangle 2. |
| 6. |
| Copy circle 1 to the upper intersection of circles 5. |
| 7. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 6 at the upper side. |
| 8. |
| Construct a circle centered at the lower angular point of triangle 2, passing through the intersection of circle 7 and the upper righthand ray 3. |
| 9. |
| Copy circle 8 two times, to the other angular points of triangle 2. In the next sixteen steps, steps 6, 7, 8, and 9, are repeated - mutatis mutandis - four times. |
| 10. |
| Copy circle 1. |
| 11. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1. |
| 12. |
| Construct a circle centered at the lower angular point of triangle 2. |
| 13. |
| Copy previous circle two times. |
| 14. |
| Copy circle 1. |
| 15. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1. |
| 16. |
| Construct a circle centered at the lower angular point of triangle 2. |
| 17. |
| Copy previous circle two times. |
| 18. |
| Copy circle 1. |
| 19. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1. |
| 20. |
| Construct a circle centered at the lower angular point of triangle 2. |
| 21. |
| Copy previous circle two times. |
| 22. |
| Copy circle 1. |
| 23. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1. |
| 24. |
| Construct a circle centered at the lower angular point of triangle 2. |
| 25. |
| Copy previous circle two times. |
| 26. |
| Circles 4, 5, 8, 9, 12, 13, 16, 17, 20, 21, 24, and 25, are used for the final reconstruction. |
| 27. |
| Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. |
| 28. |
| Colour all areas corresponding to standing... |
| 29. |
| ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the 2018 Winterbourne Bassett formation. |
| 30. |
| The final result, matched with two aerial images. |
