Medieval shieling 640m north of Troutbeck Park Farm is a scheduled ancient monument located in Westmorland in the English Lake District. Shielings were seasonal pastoral settlements used primarily during the medieval period and later for upland grazing, representing a pastoral economy centred on the exploitation of high moorland pastures. The site consists of the physical remains of structures associated with this pastoral use, typical of the transhumance practices that characterised livestock management in upland regions of northern England. The monument preserves evidence of medieval and post-medieval pastoral activity in what remains a marginal agricultural landscape.
