PINFOLD
II
Village Pound or Pinfold, probably C18. of Brick and Sandstone construction
PLAN: The pinfold is a roughly round enclosure with a single entrance to the north.
The pinfold is mostly constructed of handmade well coursed brick with a section of the exterior wall on the north west side of sandstone construction. Coping stones are either curved sandstone or of brick. A single internal brick buttress supports the pound wall. The entrance has a stone jamb to the right side.
HISTORY: This pinfold is probably C18 in date and is shown on the 1850 First Edition Ordnance Survey map. Unusually it occupies a location at the end of the village rather than the more common central position.
REASONS FOR DESIGNATION:
This C18 pinfold is designated for the following principal reasons:
* It is an effectively intact structure dating to before 1840
* It is a well preserved example of a village pound or pinfold, a once common structure that is now becoming increasingly rare in a national context
* For its historic interest as a surviving component of traditional village affairs, as a structure used to deal with the serious problem of stray livestock.
