PAVILAND, a hamlet in Penmaen parish, Glamorgan; on the coast, 11 miles W S W of Swansea. Two caves are here in bold limestone cliffs, very difficult of access, and found, in 1823, to contain bones of elephant, rhinoceros, bear, fox, hyena, wolf, horse. deer, ox, rats, and birds, the skeleton of a woman, coins, ornaments, and fragments of ivory. The human skeleton was probably coeval with a neighbouring British camp on the summit of the cliffs.
