The Village Pound, Berkswell
Image: © Richard Law Taken: 7 Mar 2018
Dating from the late 17th or early 18th century, and Grade II listed https://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101054872-village-pound-berkswell in 1976. The pound was used to corral stray farm animals - cattle, sheep, pigs etc (although I have to say that any self-respecting sheep should have been able to jump out without too much trouble; maybe the original floor level was lower than it is now).
