The animal pound on Woodbury Road is an ancient monument located in Devon, approximately 275 metres south-east of the parish church. It is a small enclosure constructed from stone, typical of the pounds used from medieval times onwards to contain stray livestock pending collection by their owners or sale to recover herding and impounding fees. The pound's construction and form are consistent with examples dating from the medieval period through to the post-medieval era, reflecting the longstanding need for communities to manage common grazing and animal control. Such structures remain important archaeological evidence of rural settlement organisation and the regulation of agricultural practice in the English countryside.
