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.
The survey identified numerous linear anomalies of which the densest concentrations are of possible anthropogenic origin. Ploughing trends aligned with the northern and southern boundaries and strong geological responses, especially towards the southeast, suggest that the possible archaeological anomalies are the result of strongly magnetic material being deposited in plough furrows.
