Gough's Cave (GOF) is located in Cheddar Gorge on the Mendip Hills, in Cheddar, Somerset, England. The cave is 115 m (377 ft) deep and 3.405 km (2.12 mi) long and contains a variety of large chambers and rock formations. It contains the Cheddar Yeo, the largest underground river system in Britain. Archaeologically, the cave is known for a late Upper Paleolithic Magdalenian occupation around 14,700 years ago, evidenced by remains showing cannibalism, the production of skull cups, and the domestication of dogs, as well as for the considerably younger Mesolithic skeleton of Cheddar Man, dating to around 10,300 years ago.
