animal pound
An animal pound was a place where stray livestock such as pigs are impounded in a dedicated enclosure until claimed by their owners or sold to cover the costs of impounding.
==Etymology==
The terms "pinfold" and "pound" are Saxon in origin. "Pundfald" and "pund" both mean an enclosure. There appears to be no difference between a pinfold and a village pound.〔An alternative spelling/pronunciation of pinfold was "poundfield", which implies a relation to the modern English word "(im)pound" (Plaque on pinfold site in Higham, Lancashire)〕 The term pinfold seems to be more popular in the north and east of England, whilst in the south and west the term pound is more popular.
