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 curvilinear and sub-annular anomalies which may be of archaeological interest, although their lack of definite form and restricted context make this interpretation uncertain. A band of increased magnetic response aligned northeast to southwest near the centre of the area is possibly geological in origin. Elsewhere, weak trends probably reflect underlying pedological variations.
