Medieval shieling 150m west of Trout Beck is a pastoral settlement structure located in Westmorland. The site comprises the remains of a temporary or seasonal shelter used during the medieval period by shepherds or cattle herders, typical of upland farming practices in the Lake District and surrounding fell country. Shielings of this type were integral to transhumant pastoral systems, whereby livestock was moved to higher pastures during summer months, requiring basic accommodation for those tending the animals. The monument's archaeological significance lies in its evidence for medieval land use and the seasonal exploitation of marginal upland terrain in northern England.
