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.

A number of linear and isolated anomalies are apparent in this area (Area B4), and may be of archaeological interest. It should be noted that the magnetic background is much quieter and more uniform than in adjacent areas, suggesting that responses have been subdued by an increased overburden, perhaps a result of alluvium from the nearby spring and stream to the north.
