Known since time immemorial in the area, it has habitually been used by shepherds. Since the decade of the 50s of the 20th century, it has been the subject of study and also of archaeological looting. The first speleological reference dates from 24.25 and 26 January 1953, when it was explored by the GES of the Club Muntanyenc Barcelonès (Andrés, Armengou, Barceló); they carried out the survey but it was never published. In 1960 G. López Pérez carried out a stratigraphic study there which appeared published in 1961, citing the cavity as cova de Can Frustanyà. From 1971 it was visited on various occasions by Eudald Carbonell and Ramon Busquets; the results of these visits appeared published in 1976, where a sketch of the cavity is attached without scale and with North wrongly indicated. On 24 June 1972 it was visited by the SIE of the CE Àliga, carrying out the survey of the cavity; before the end of the decade the cavity would be closed in order to preserve the archaeological site.
