Binissafullet still shows the characteristic elements of a Talayotic settlement: a talayot, a taula enclosure, a hypostyle hall, dwellings, the remains of silos, etc. It was in use from the 10th century BC until the Roman era, particularly during the 4th and 3rd centuries BC, although remains found from the Islamic period may indicate that it was still inhabited during the medieval period.

More information: The taula, the enclosure’s central element, had collapsed but was eventually restored and returned to its original position in 1990. This taula is unique as it has a base, a shaft and a capital stone, unlike other taulas whose pilasters lie directly upon the rock or are fit into it.
Various excavations have provided a great deal of information regarding the use and activities that took place within the taula enclosure. The remains of amphorae from the Carthaginian period that contained wine, as well as meat remains and the presence of fire in the taula enclosure speak of rituals related to the fertility of animals, crops and humans alike.
The talayot is now collapsed in large part and surrounded by a series of pilasters that may mark the location of unexcavated dwellings.
