Reconstruction of the Bishop's Sutton 9-05-2005 formation
1.		Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines.
2.		Construct the circumscribed octagon (regular 8-sided polygon) of circle 1, with the midpoint of one side coincident with the righthand intersection of circle 1 and the horizontal centerline, as shown.
3.		Construct the circumscribed circle of octagon 2.
4.		Draw the two rays from the center of circle 1 to the righmost two angular points of octagon 2.
5.		Construct the inscribed circle of the triangle formed by rays 4 and the rightmost side of octagon 2.
6.		Copy circle 5 to the righthand intersection of circle 3 and the horizontal centerline.
7.		Draw a line from the upper intersection of circles 5 and 6 to the right, parallel to the horizontal centerline.
8.		Construct a circle centered at the intersection of circle 1 and line 7, tangent to circle 5 at the near side.
9.		Copy circle 8 to the righthand intersection of circle 6 and line 7.
10.		Construct a circle concentric to circle 6, tangent to circle 9 at the far side.
11.		Copy circle 10 to the center of circle 9.
12.		Construct a circle centered at the intersection of the rightmost side of octagon 2 and line 7, tangent to circle 8 at the righthand side.
13.		Copy circle 12 to the righthand intersection of circle 11 and line 7.
14.		Circles 1, 3, 9 and 13 together make up the reconstruction of the formation. High resolution dwf-file
15.		The reconstruction of the Bishop's Sutton formation from 9-05-2005 is completed by colouring the area corresponding to standing... High resolution dwf-file
16.		...or to flattened crop. High resolution dwf-file
