Granaries may have had between one and several floors, with upper floor (s) accessible through stairways from inside or outside the building.

Haylofts were very simple structures built without foundations, but supported by four large stones placed in the corners of a building. Haylofts were used for storage of hay. To prevent hay from getting wet, hay was placed on the wooden grate, which formed the floor of the building, that allowed ventilation and kept hay dry. |
