"It was by accident, really," said Bolton, who described the cave as "huge" and "unlike any other" he had seen in the UK in terms of its archaeological potential.
"[I] saw the castle, and then heard that there was a cave under it, so that automatically piqued my interest.
"I noticed, very low down, there was an old calcite floor. So it suggested that, if anything had been removed in the past, it was very little."
Bolton then visited Tenby museum and noticed that there was a small collection of stone tools from the cave.
"I thought, if that's here, [then] the Paleolithic - which we're very interested in - might be deeper.
"I badgered Rob for many, many years. A few years later, he relented, and we found the time to come down and have a little look."
