Boleigh Fogou is a fogou near St. Buryan in Cornwall, England. Iron Age pottery was found at the fogou along with carvings that may have been brought from elsewhere. It is unusual in structure as it has more than one entranceway.{{cite book|author=E Clark|date=1961|title=Cornish Fogous|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QvAOAAAAQAAJ&pg=PR12|accessdate=12 April 2013|publisher=Taylor & Francis|pages=12–|id=GGKEY:9LW9GX7EEJZ}}
