'''Long Hole''', also spelled '''Longhole''', is a limestone cave on the south coast of the [[Gower Peninsula]] between [[Paviland]] and [[Port Eynon]]. It is relatively small, measuring about {{convert|15|m|ft|abbr=on}} deep after several excavations. It was first excavated in 1861 by Colonel E. R. Wood. Wood found evidence of a lithic assemblage and [[faunal]] remains. The faunal remains included [[cave hyena]], [[reindeer]], [[Woolly rhinoceros]], [[mammoth]], [[straight-tusked elephant]] and wild horse.<ref name="Dinnis">{{cite journal|last1=Dinnis|first1=R|title=Identification Of Longhole (Gower) As An Aurignacian Site|journal=Lithics: The Journal of the Lithic Studies Society|date=2012|volume=33|pages=17–29|url=http://journal.lithics.org/index.php/lithics/article/view/347|
A second excavation was conducted in 1969 by J. B. Campbell. Analysis of the evidence from the two excavations, including sediment and pollen as well as the lithic evidence, has identified Long Hole as an [[Aurignacian]] site contemporary with and related to the site at [[Paviland]], evidence of the first modern humans in Britain.<ref name="Dinnis"/>
