"Stray farm animals were confined here by elected
pounders or reeves until ransomed by their owners. In 1730, David Dickey kept the first pound in
the West Parish. When the current boundaries of Londonderry were established in 1836, David
Gilcreast supplied both land and materials and constructed this pound in a 'workmanlike manner,'
tapering from base to top. This pound faces the Mammoth Road, built in 1831, and has its back to
the intersection of the Old Stage Road." erected 1991 |
