Site visit 28th April 1999. No remains of the pound were identified. Described as brick capped and partly demolished in 1977 due to accidental damage. This may have led to a more complete demolition which is unrecorded. The Clinton Devon Estate Warden at the Commons was unaware of any structure fitting the description of the pound. Not recommended for scheduling.
