Medieval shieling 300m north of Clough Fold is a pastoral settlement structure located in Cumberland. The site represents evidence of medieval upland pastoral farming practices, specifically the seasonal use of summer pastures characteristic of shieling economies in northern England. Shielings typically comprised simple stone structures used by herders during transhumant grazing cycles, when livestock was moved to higher ground for summer feeding. The monument contributes to understanding medieval land use patterns and the exploitation of marginal upland terrain in the region.
