Full description

Urmston, Ben, 11/2008, Avon Support Main, between Roborough and Houndall, near Plymouth, Devon. (Report - Geophysical Survey). SDV358939.

A geophysical survey was undertaken of a proposed 13km water main between Roborough and Houndall, near Plymouth, Devon. Several sites of archaeological interest were detected.

In this area (Area A1) a short length of linear anomaly appears within the survey area, it is likely that it represents a former boundary, given the character of its response. A linear anomaly of similar response extends southeast from the northwestern extent of this area, although its relationship with the short anomaoly is unclear. Further to the southeast, a curvilinear anomaly of similar character is largely oriented northwest to southeast, perhaps forms a complex of former boundaries. Survey in this area was hindered by dense gorse and bracken, along with the presence of geotechnical compounds.
