A very informative notice board gives the history of the pinfold, Scarrington village and the horseshoe pile.
This unusual circular pinfold is very similar to those in the nearby villages of Flintham and Screveton and may well have been constructed by the same builder in the early 19th century.
Restoration was carried out in 1988 and 2012.
