Explanation:

In many cities, archaeologists have found rows of pots, or ceramic rings arranged one on top of the other. These are known as ring wells. These seem to have been used as toilets in some cases, and as drains and garbage dumps. These ring wells are usually found in individual houses. In an excavation at Purana Qila in 2014, Ring wells were discovered dating back to Mauryan period. As per Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), it is a drain, probably of a kitchen in the Maurya period.
