List of extant pinfolds in Cheshire

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).

[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.
