(Great page by Andy Norfolk)
The word "fogou", pronounced foogoo, comes from the Cornish word for a cave.
They have been known in dialect as vugs, vows, foggos, giants holts and fuggy holes.
A fogou is an archaeological hole in the ground dating from between about 500BCE to 500CE. This means that they really are Celtic, unlike the older standing stones and stone circles and so their construction could have some connection with the occasional druid.
