History

Файл:Monastery mosaic floor.jpg

Decorative mosaic floor of the monastery

The village was established in 2004. Initially there were problems with acquiring the land from the Bedouins living in the area, but in 2004 mobile homes were moved onto the site. The village's name was given to it due to the wheat silos in the surrounding farms and the fact that it was located in a hilly area.

Byzantine Monastery

A monastery complex associated with the Byzantine period was discovered there.[4] The complex includes a central building measuring approximately 20x20 m that rose to a height of two stories as well as a toilet wing measuring approximately 35x35 m in which warehouses, the water cistern and possibly also a barn, a goat shed and other service facilities were found.

In the monastery a mosaic floor was discovered. The decoration includes two peacocks facing each other with an amphora between them. From the amphora comes a vine forming five medallions in two rows. In the bottom row we see a donkey (or rabbit) in the right medallion and two baskets with grapes (or loaves of bread) in the left medallion. In the top row you can see a bird with its head down (above the donkey) and a fish above the baskets and between the two in the middle is a human figure in a prayer position (Uranus).
