Hello,
You've changed this from a "pinfold" to a "pound", but it's definitely referred to as a pinfold locally.
More generally, the word "pound" is very generic and has many different meanings. It'd be better to stick to the original "historic=pinfold" for these features; if some (in southern England, perhaps) are referred to locally as pounds, and they really are different enough in function to tag differently, then maybe add "pinfold=pound" to those?
Best Regards,
Andy -

I don't think we should start allowing for regional tags for features that have had a specific standard label on maps for over 150 years. I could agree to changing the value to animal_pound, but I'm yet to encounter a historic car pound.

Also, Historic England calls it a "pound": https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1149031, even thought they use both terms in their database.

Where there's a choice of words for something, and one is capable of being misinterpreted due to multiple meanings, OSM tends to pick the other - hence "sidewalk" is used rather than "pavement", despite the latter being the regular British English term (for historical reasons British English has tended to be used in OSM).
"pound" isn't a good choice for these features; there are too many other different things using the same word. Compare https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=pound#values and https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=pinfold#values . -

All your taginfo links prove is that "pound" is a word much more often used than "pinfold". You would have to check what the "pound" in all the placenames refers to. "town pound" is also used in the United States, I have come across no instance of "town pinfold" yet, so it is a word used not just in the South of England. I'm not trying to get rid of regional words, but we need a standard that is understood intuitively by people.

Nice work. I'm done now browsing through Wikimedia.
