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.

Linear anomalies 4066 are similar in character to 4065 and are similarly thought to be of low archaeological potential, given their similarity to the typical responses given by modern drainage.
