A second stairway leads to the right (along the smaller side of the pool) on the same platform with no exit located exactly at the same level. If you look carefully, you can see that floor of these platforms located exactly on the same level as the top edge of the fence surrounding the pool. • There is the only logical explanation -- these stairs with space-closed platforms were intended solely for the following: while swimming in the pool, you could quickly climb to the level above the fence and see -- what is happening outside there and is there happened something very important, worth enough to run from the water as to be bitten in an ass? I don't see any other explanation. But where shall you to look in that direction? Down? There is nothing interesting, just the jungle, the same as in all directions. • It is very interesting, that a coverage area from those platforms allows you to see the sky above the horizon from East over the ancient Polonnaruwa city (28 km as the crow flies, may be interesting for us because of ancient temple with polygonal masonry of megalithic blocks on the principle of processing all megaliths, i.e. cutting granite on the place like a knife through butter) to the South, in the direction of Adam's peak (Sri Pada mountain, 130 km as the crow flies).
