Bronze Age Grain Storage Pits (c. 2200-800 BC)

A concentration of suspected Bronze Age grain storage pits was discovered at Barnahely. These pits contained significant quantities of charred grain and a large number of quern stones, which would have been used to grind the grain to make flour. The number of querns and quern fragments points to relatively large scale grain processing, more than would be needed for a single family group.
