The excavation west of Warren’s Gate exposed five strata dating from the late Second Temple period (first century CE) to medieval times (tenth–thirteenth centuries CE). A pavement and drainage channel dating from the first century CE were most probably associated with the northwestern Herodian entrance gate to the Temple Mount. A small segment of a sixth-century CE pavement, exposed above the Roman drainage channel, seems to have been part of a street or a public square, and an Early Islamic staircase descending eastward may have led to the entrance gate to the Temple Mount. It is believed that Warren’s Gate was in use until the twelfth century CE when it was blocked, and the area was converted into a reservoir.
