I think that’s a modern equivalent used to coral livestock to get then onto or off transport. You often see them against field boundaries close to roads.

Indeed, sheep particular need regular "maintenance" worming, fly spraying, dodding etc. so having a pen in a field saves driving them back to the farm. drive them all into the pen and catch them and "maintain" them one by one and release into the field as you do it.

My bike, not in front of, but inside.. An older photo, June 2019, on the road from Altnaharra to Tongue overlooking Loch Craggie.
It's a full circle with a couple of entrances/exits in the walls iirc

Circular brick Pinfold (rebuilt) and smartly done to preserve a bit of village heritage. Low Marnham, Notts.
The one above is a Pinfold. Further south they are more often known as Pounds but not exclusivley.

Wicken Pound, Northants. Rebuilt as part of a modern housing package on its original site as shown on OS sheet LXI.SW 1883.

That’s a Stell found on hill and moor ground for sheep. We say "the sheep were stelled in the snow" When shepherds were plentiful sheep were put in during snowstorms I know one in Yorkshire built by cistercian monks.
