Capenhurst pinfold

A pinfold was a structure into which straying animals were placed until they were retrieved by their owner on payment of a fine. Other terms for the structure were penfold or pound. These names were derived from the Old English words pund (pound) and fuld (fold).[1] In Cheshire, most of these were square or circular stone structures, although there is a circular pinfold in Henbury.[2] There is evidence of the existence of at least 153 pinfolds in Cheshire,[3] although as of 2010 only eight of these remain in the current county of Cheshire.[4] There are also the remains of four other pinfolds in the county.[5]
