The following link should take you hopefully to Barry Cunliffe and the Iron Age, he gives an account of the economy of the chalkland settlements, he does stress use of querns right from Neolithic times. and of course there is always the pits that grain was stored in so that it did'nt sprout, presumably stored for small scale grinding with querns over the winter;)
moss, thanks for the great link.your point about the grain being stored so that it didn't sprout is exactly to the point.......crushed or rolled grain WILL NOT sprout and did not have to be stored underground in pits. ie. grain pits were no longer needed.
