Stray animals were held in the pinfold, where their owners could collect them, on payment of a fine. This one is now a seating area. There is an inscribed stone set into the ground in front, which reads, "July 10th 1806 Nathan Bentle of Sworkeston Took is Ass Out of the Pinfould the Gat not being Locked in Consequence of that he Broke the Pound".
