Boleigh Fogou is a fogou near St. Buryan in Cornwall. It can be reached via the B3315 Penzance to Land's End road near The Pipers standing stones.[1] Iron Age pottery was found at the fogou along with carvings that may have been brought from elsewhere. It is unusual in structure as it has more than one entranceway.[2]
The Boleigh fogou was the subject of Channel 4's Time Team series 3, episode 1, filmed in March 1995 and first broadcast on 7 January 1996.[3][4]
