Goldsworthy Pinfold Cairn, Brough

Pinfold Cairn by Andrew Goldsworthy at Church Brough in the Eden Valley of Cumbria. Goldsworthy lived in Brough from 1981 - 1985 and this was his first pinfold cone on the site of the old village pinfold. Each cone cairn is like a stone seed within a protective shell. Pinfolds were originally built as small enclosures to pen stray animals but were later used as sheepfolds.
