The Group of shielings, 100m north of Tinkler Crags is a set of pastoral structures located in Cumberland, England. Shielings are temporary or seasonal dwellings associated with transhumance pastoral practices, whereby livestock herds were moved to upland pastures during summer months. This group dates to the medieval period and represents evidence of the pastoral economy and land use practices that characterised the upland regions of northern England. The structures, now surviving as archaeological remains, provide material testimony to the seasonal movement of people and animals that formed an integral part of medieval farming systems in the Pennine uplands.
