From the time it was built in 1795, the Town Pound played an important role in Boscawen’s agricultural history. Two rods square (30 feet by 30 feet) and constructed of dry laid and naturally shaped granite fieldstone, the pound’s four feet high by four feet thick walls held stray sheep, horses, cattle, oxen and other livestock until their owners could claim them.
