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 cluster of pit-like responses with an amorphous linear anomaly immediately to the south, may be of archaeological interest (Area D9) and may be associated with the nearby chimney to the east; they are consistent with responses from small-scale quarrying. Boringdon Camp is some 500m west of this area, however, and it is possible that these pits are associated with the Iron Age settlement there.
