Column Foundations of the Sacrificial Hall  

In the outer enclosure of the Temple of Heaven there was a Sacrificial Hall where the cattle were raised for the use at sacrificial rituals in the altars. The 5 bay hall housed the "God of Sacrifice." During the construction work in recent years the column foundations are discovered and moved inside the altar for preservation.
