Kirk Bride Pinfold

Archaeology

The Kirk Bride pinfold stands on the west side of the high road near East Kimmeragh. It measures approximately 12.5 metres long by 11 metres wide. Its walls are of stone with some parts bound by mortar.  The entrance is in the east wall, with slate lintel above. 


Each parish was responsible for the maintenance and repair of its own pinfold, but their origins are uncertain although a statute of 1422 confirms customary laws already long established by that time.
