Interior of sheepfold
No ordinary sheepfold, this! Constructed to a very high standard, this perfectly circular sheepfold was apparently constructed by the landscape sculptor, Andy Goldsworthy but is not part of his main "Sheepfold" project which involved the construction of at least thirty sheepfolds in Cumbria. See NY9583 : Sheepfold near Lunga Crags for external view.

Despite its superior construction, it is obvious that this example is absolutely no use for rounding up sheep as it is filled with large chunks of rock.
