Description
Swinster is a later 19th-century square pony pound, featuring harl pointed rubble walls with stugged sandstone dressings and raised wallheads at the corners. The northwest elevation is symmetrical, with an entrance gate located at the center. On the southwest elevation, there is a single doorway positioned towards the outer right.
Inside, the main enclosure is divided by a rubble wall that runs from the center of the northwest to the southeast elevations, enclosing the northeast side of a passage that leads to a four-chamber square inner enclosure made of battered rubble walls, with gates grouped at the center. The inner wallhead and cross walls indicate where a near-continuous mono pitch roof once existed, but this has since been removed in 1996. A modern flat-roofed shed has been constructed in the western corner.
