When the bath was emptied the water flowed through a small square hole in the south-west corner into a passage with a flat roof supported by transverse wooden beams. A vertical manhole at the western end made it possible to inspect and clear the passage. The water passed out thence through a culvert about two feet four inches wide, with a corbelled roof built high enough to allow a man of moderate height to walk through without stooping (Pl. C, a). Unfortunately the denudation of the mound prevented the final destination of this culvert from being discovered.
