Human remains dated to the late prehistoric period have been unearthed in the cave.
Judge's Cave was discovered in the 1840s during the construction of a villa for James Cochrane who was Chief Justice of Gibraltar from 1841 to 1877.
The pottery remains excavated by Palao from this site are described as some of Gibraltar's most beautiful pieces.
Captain Gorham visited the cave during his time in Gibraltar alongside his team consisting of Lt. Anderson and Sgt.
[citation needed] Judge's cave has recently been surveyed to the Grade 6 level of accuracy by a team of Spanish professional speleologists (Jose and Julio Aguilera) working alongside the Gibraltar Museum's team and another survey was carried out separately by the Gibraltar Museum's caving unit on 12 September 2012.
