Why this matters

Ogo Dour, meaning 'watery cave' in Cornish, is likely a solutional cave formed by the dissolution of limestone in the area, typical of the geological processes in the Cornish landscape. The cave is associated with a nearby waterfall, and while no major archaeological finds are recorded, such sites often held local or ritual significance in prehistoric and early historic times.

What is recorded here

Ogo Dour - 'watery cave' in Cornish for the adjacent waterfall.
