The site was used as a prehistoric burial site.[2] There are more than forty-five prehistoric petroglyphs and rock engravings in the cave, measuring between 5 and 10 inches in size. Most of the engravings portray headless human figures.[3] During the Battle of Saipan, civilians and combatants hid in the cave and it served as a field hospital.[4][5] Years after the war, ordnance, human belongings, and skeletons were still retrieved 30 to 50 feet from the cave's entrance.[6]
