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

The layman term for drain cover (grate) is manhole cover. Say "manhole cover" and pictures of spies/heros using the underground sewage system popping out of manhole cover in Hollywood films appear.
Historically ever since 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 prefer to call them) have been invented out from the necessity to prevent people from falling into underground sewage and to prevent large objects from entering Jonite tree grill which cause choking which eventually may lead to flooding.
Fast forward to the modern day, the sewage system is still in use under all cities all over the world. Instead of the crude stone manhole covers the Romans use in the ancient days, today we have special steel reinforced stone gratings that provide the thousand year old function of covering the inlets of our sewage system.
