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 8), a cluster of anomalies may be anthropogenic in origin, although there is little apparent order to their distribution within the survey corridor. The majority of this area is dominated by strong ploughing trends oriented north to south, indicative of ploughing.
