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.
The magnetic background is more homogeneous in this area (Area C5), which falls relatively steeply from northwest to southeast and is boggy in places. It is unclear whether the linear and isolated anomalies apparent in this dataset are anthropogenic in origin, and they may be due to pedological processes.
