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 identified.

In this area (Area A2),a collection of linear and sub-linear anomalies is consistent with anthropogenic activity, although this is inconclusive given the limited width of the survey corridor; it is possible that isolated anomalies and trends to the north of these anomalies are associated with the main cluster. Other anomalies in this area may be anthropogenic in origin, although a pedological cause cannot be dismissed.
