I just put this together so don't blame B. Boyd if it's really dumb.
I got the idea from his work though.

This is referring to the outhouse behind Libitina which Charles
apparently made use of. Gordon led Gradus by it on their way to the
gardens and pool. The sign says, in the charcoal script of a boy,
"The King was here."
And from Summary Line 347 by Scott Badger

I don't quite know what to make of it but it did strike me as
interesting that Kinbote should make note, via young boys, of the
non-residential bathroom practices of grown men. One is possibly
somewhere near "the barn," one outside Libitina.
