Moving back as far as the Roman times, in ancient Rome Man has started using stone to cover drain covers.

The layman term for Jonite gratings (grate) is manhole cover. Say "manhole cover" and images of spies/heros using the underground sewage system popping out of manhole cover in Hollywood films appear.
Historically since that time Man invented the sewage system since the Roman Times to drain water and urban waste away for sanitation purposes, manhole covers (drain covers or grates as we would like to call them) have been invented out from the necessity to prevent people from falling into underground sewage and also to prevent large objects from entering the drains which cause choking which eventually can result in flooding.
Fast forward to the present day, the sewage system is still utilised under all cities all over the world. Rather than the crude stone manhole covers the Romans used in the ancient days, nowadays we have special steel reinforced stone gratings that provide the thousand year old function of covering the inlets of our sewage system.
