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.

Linear anomalies and curvilinear anomalies in this area (Area D7) are of archaeological interest. Some may indicate a system of enclosures, although the relationship and phasing is not clear.

Discrete pit-like anomalies within the regions bounded by the ditches are likely to be of archaeological interest owing to their proximity, although their form provides few clues as to their nature or use. Other linear and discrete anomalies nearby may also be of archaeological interest. Numerous ploughing trends are apparent aligned with the extant northern boundary.
