Pounds were built to hold animals who had become a problem or that were illegally wandering around loose. Town pounds were in common use from the mid 1600’s to the late 1800’s.
The town pounds that have survived represent a number of different time periods and builting techniques. Many of the pounds have been restored in 20th century. The restoration work in most cases involved resetting fallen stones from the pounds walls. The bottom sections of these walls tend to be the most reliable sections of the pound to find original construction work and techniques.
PLEASE DO NOT MOVE ANY ROCKS.
