Animal pound 140m north west of Riverside, Wollerton is a post-medieval enclosure structure located in Shropshire. The monument comprises an earthwork pound, a type of livestock enclosure used for the temporary confinement of stray animals or impounded stock, dating to the early modern period. Such pounds were common features of English rural settlements and served an administrative function within manorial and parish systems for the management of wayward livestock. The survival of this earthwork exemplifies the minor but functional infrastructure that supported agricultural communities in early modern Shropshire.
