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

The layman term for drain cover (grate) is manhole cover. Say "manhole cover" and pictures of spies/heros making use of 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 would like to call them) have already been invented out of the necessity in order to avoid people from falling into underground sewage and also prevent large objects from entering the drains which cause choking which eventually may cause flooding.
Fast forward to the present day, the sewage system is still being employed under drainage cover . As opposed to crude stone manhole covers the Romans use in the ancient days, today we have special steel reinforced stone gratings that serve the thousand year old function of covering the inlets of our sewage system.
