Medieval shieling 160m north west of Clough Fold is a pastoral settlement site located in Cumberland. Shielings were seasonal grazing settlements used by upland communities during the medieval period, typically occupied during summer months when livestock were moved to higher pastures. The site's physical remains consist of evidence of structures associated with this transhumant pastoral practice, characteristic of the upland farming economy of northern England during the medieval era. This monument represents an important record of medieval land use and the organisation of pastoral agriculture in the Pennine uplands.
