Moving back as far as the Roman times, in ancient Rome Man has started using stone to cover up 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 from the time that 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 already been invented out of the basic need 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 modern day, the sewage system is still utilised under all cities all over the world. Instead of the crude stone manhole covers the Romans used 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.
