This project arose from the need to provide a data set for the Burrington Combe area caves for the study of their geomorphology and hydrology and led to the publication of:

Speleogenesis and landscape development in the Burrington area, Somerset. by A.R. Farrant, A.A.D. Moody and G.J. Mullan Published in UBSS Proceedings 24.3 pp207-252 and available as a pdf download.

The dataset continues to be added to and improved. Most data in this repository is published under a Creative Commons license.
