The animal pound is very old and if you travel through Broughton you would probably not know of its existence. It is still intact and in excellent condition even down to the original water trough. It was used for keeping stray sheep and cattle that had wandered into the village, then anyone who had lost a sheep would come and have a look to see if their sheep had been found and put in the enclosure, it then cost them a certain amount of money to retrieve them.
