Animal pound on Woodbury Road is a medieval or post-medieval structure located in Devon, south-east of the parish church. The monument comprises an enclosure designed to impound stray livestock, a common feature of English settlements from the medieval period onwards. Such pounds served an essential administrative and economic function within manorial systems, allowing communities to contain wandering animals until owners paid a fine for their recovery. The Woodbury example survives as a scheduled ancient monument and remains an important record of rural management practices and settlement organisation in Devon.
