Gough's Cave

Gough's Cave is located in Cheddar Gorge on the Mendip Hills in Somerset, England. The cave extends 115 meters deep and 3.405 kilometers in length, featuring large chambers and rock formations [1]. It contains the Cheddar Yeo, the largest underground river system in Britain [1]. Archaeologically, the cave is famous for a late Upper Paleolithic Magdalenian occupation around 14,700 years ago, with human remains showing evidence of cannibalism and skull cup production [1]. The cave also yielded the Mesolithic skeleton of Cheddar Man, dating to approximately 10,300 years ago [1].
