A semi-circular enclosure or stall where domestic animals are kept and fed.
About Animal Pen
This structure was a stall, part of a barn where animals were fed, or it was simply a customary place where animals were fed outside, often in a semi-circular enclosure. Since people normally possessed few cattle, the stalls were often near, or even inside, the house where the family lived.
