The Medieval dyke: part of deer park boundary on Hazel Moor and two medieval shielings is a scheduled ancient monument comprising earthwork remains of medieval agricultural and hunting landscape features in Westmorland. The site consists of a linear dyke that formed part of the boundary of a medieval deer park, together with two shielings, which were seasonal pastoral shelters used during transhumance practices. Dating to the medieval period, these remains demonstrate the integration of formal hunting reserves with upland pastoral farming systems characteristic of northern English estates. The monument survives as earthwork features and represents an important record of medieval land management and settlement patterns on the higher ground of the English Lake District region.
