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.

Amorphous anomalies 4067 are of possible archaeological interest, although this interpretation is hindered by the limited context and adjacent ferrous responses. Towards the northern extent of the area, a curvilinear anomaly and nearby discrete responses may be of some archaeological potential.
