[edit] Dartmoor granite used for Plymouth Breakwater?

I've removed this sentence from the article: "Millions of tons were used in the construction of the breakwater protecting Plymouth Sound." I can find no reference to this - according to University of Southampton Archaeology, the granite came from the Colcerrow Granite Quarry, St Austell. Most of the breakwater was built of limestone from the Breakwater Quarry at Oreston[1]  —SMALLJIM  11:29, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
