Beasts straying from Stivichall Common were once rounded up into the animal pound until reclaimed by their owners. It is thought to date back to at least 1663 and the stone blocks in the south wall considered to be 17th century. Removal of invading vegetation has revealed the stone flags lining the pound. The photo is taken from the north wall of the pound looking towards the gateway at the south-east corner.
