Several archaeologists dug here starting with the Victorian antiquarians, Revd Magens Mello, Thomas Heath and Professor W.Boyd Dawkins, in 1875 and 1876 and Robert Laing before 1889. Mello, Heath and Dawkins concentrated their work in the western chamber and took just over a month to remove most of the cave deposit. Laing, on the other hand, appears to have removed deposits from the both the central and rear chamber and possibly the eastern chamber. In 1969, John Campbell carried out a small-scale excavation in the entrance area and on the scree slopes leading up to the cave. More recently, Rogan Jenkinson directed excavations within the cave in 1981 on remnants of deposits left by earlier archaeologists.
