Looks like a water feature to me. Probably for washing as it has an over flow bottom left and the right looks deeper. So take your water from the right do your washing on the left and then swill it way. Depending on where it is situated it could be about washing off the grime of a journey before moving into the religious side of things. Islam still keeps to the idea of washing before praying and the Catholic Church still like a lick and a promise before entering church! But without context impossible to say.

Yeah could be for washing, it was away from the main site so could have been added after the original construction, allegedly 8000 years ago.
