Corbelled Drain exiting the Great Bath
This drain cuts through the edge of the so-called granary. If the entire drain were constructed along with the Great Bath, this feature would indicate that the original "granary" was built before the great bath.
Looking out from inside the drain
The corbelled arch drain from the great bath is large enough to walk into. It has a small ledge on either side of the actual drain channel.
