Animal pound 390m south of Croft Pascoe Pool is a prehistoric or early medieval enclosure located in Cornwall. The monument comprises a circular or sub-circular banked enclosure of modest dimensions, characteristic of livestock management structures employed across the South West during the Iron Age and Romano-British periods, though use may have continued into the early medieval period. Such pounds served as secure holding areas for cattle and other stock, reflecting the pastoral economy of ancient Cornish communities. The site's survival as an upstanding earthwork demonstrates the persistence of this functional monument type in the Cornish landscape.
