Excavations were carried out by Emil Carthaus in the year 1891. He found pieces of a human skull, potsherds and fossil bones.
Excavations in the Hönnetal were undertaken by the geologist Julius Andree, Münster, in the years 1925 and 1926. In four excavations in the Honert-Höhle, Andree found in the rear part of the cave, among other things, remains of a Stone Age burial, pottery sherds of the Iron Age, four three-pfennig coins of the city of Hamm (minted 1736 and 1737) and a three-pfennig coin of the city of Soest (1740) of copper.
