The team try to discover what a 2000-year-old underground chamber beneath a garden was used for. Dowser Hamish Miller shows the extent of the fogou beneath the lawn, and Tony tries his hand at dowsing. But Mick is skeptical, preferring to rely on the geophysical survey. They are also trying to find the Iron Age settlement that would have adjoined the fogou. Joining the team are archaeological geophysicist Susan Ovenden, and county archaeologist Nick Johnson.

Mick Aston was such a good sport, nice and friendly and charming besides the fact that he knew his stuff... He's very much missed. RIP Mick... Also this episode was a revelation to me... I didn't know Phil once had a side parting! I enjoy this stuff so much!

Seeing how moder tech has evolved since then I hope someone has gone there with some kind of ground penetrating radar or something similar to see if the fogou continues or not.

Could that word fugoue translate to Fugue ? as in place of "refuge , or ' hiding place'? Looks to me that it definitely could have been a used as a hiding place from warring soldiers , enemies of some kind.

I don't think the Fogou was a lard locker or used for food storage. Why go to all the work to build a stone structure when all you need to do is dig under a large tree and use the main root structure to support the roof. In the U.S. our early European settlers built root cellars which were used to store root vegetables, potato's, and such over the winter.

@Brian1Graves 3 года назад

Tried dowsing some time ago. Didn't work. Fella said it was because I didn't believe in it. Didn't work for him either. Me suspects dowsers have more failures than successes but only talk about the successes. So overall. you have better chances with random digging.

@@IronChief You genuinely believe a stick or rod can magically detect water underground by moving, when these objects clearly have no attraction to each other, can't be replicated, is utterly unscientific, and is basically belief in magic?

If there were memories of past solar-fry events, a fogou would be a good place to hide from the next one. If the only people to survive the last fry were the ones similarly shielded, the need to have and use a fogou would be an article of faith.
