Broomrigg P is a shieling located in Broomrigg Plantation, approximately 775 metres south-east of Street House in Cumberland, England. Shielings were temporary or seasonal settlements used for pastoral activities, particularly the summer grazing and herding of cattle in upland regions during the medieval and early modern periods. The monument represents evidence of transhumance practices whereby livestock were moved from lowland winter pastures to highland summer pastures, a practice widespread throughout northern England and Scotland. As a designated ancient monument, this site contributes to understanding the historical land use patterns and settlement strategies of the upland areas of northern England.
