Medieval shieling 160m north west of Clough Fold is a pastoral settlement site in Cumberland. The monument comprises the remains of a shieling, a temporary or seasonal settlement used for pastoral farming, particularly associated with upland grazing and transhumance practices during the medieval period. Shielings of this type typically consist of low stone structures and associated enclosures, arranged to facilitate livestock management during the summer months when herds were moved to higher pastures. This example contributes to the archaeological evidence of medieval upland land use and pastoral economy in the Lake District region.
