Fogou 70m north of Pendeen Manor Farm is a prehistoric underground stone-built structure located in Cornwall. The monument dates to the Iron Age and consists of a subterranean passage constructed from stone, typical of the fogou tradition found in south-western Britain. Such structures remain enigmatic in purpose, though they are variously interpreted as storage facilities, refuges, or ritual spaces associated with nearby settlement sites. The fogou represents an important example of Iron Age engineering and settlement practices in the Cornish peninsula.
