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 A3), a linear anomaly exhibits a response characteristic of a former boundary, and forms a continuation of the extant boundaries to the north and south. Northwest of this, linear anomalies on a similar alignment are of possible archaeological interest and nearby orthogonal trends are likely to represent former ploughing.
