Raccards are traditional
Italian Alps (in the Lys Valley and in Ayas). In Italy they are called rascard and in Savoy regard. They are found in the Valle d'Aosta region of Italy.[1]
These pre-industrial structures resemble log cabins, built above ground and supported by wooden stilts.[1] A circular stone slab, forming an overhang, is intercalated between the stilts and the granary to prevent rodents from gaining access to the grain or fodder reserves. Raccards allow for preserving and processing grain products.[1][2]
