There most certainly has. Ref:- Dowsing and Church Archaeology by Richard N. Bailey, Eric Cambridge and H. Denis Briggs published July 1988 by Intercept Ltd ISBN 0-946707-12-8. Richard Bailey was, at the time, Professor of Anglo-Saxon Civilisation at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. The study claims to have achieved an accuracy of +/- 2cm when dowsing with rods over foundations of church buildings no longer visible on the surface. Robert Waterhouse is right when he says that the rods do not identify what they are responding to but if you know the confirmation of particular features then the rod responses can be accurately plotted to give a diagramatic representation. For Roman sites, which have a high degree of conformity, this works well. Only excavation can give a true interpretation.
