How did medieval monks go to the toilet?

These are REAL medieval toilets from the 13th century ruins of Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire. For nearly 400 years, monks used these stone arches to balance and aim themselves at the river below. Forget the myths about medieval hygiene. This was how it happened.

Umm.. i remember there being carved holes in giant rock slabs over top that water that they would sit on to do their Buisness. Seems at some point they broke off. They were definitely there in the 90s when i lived there. Weird.
