Medieval shieling 640m north of Troutbeck Park Farm is a pastoral settlement structure located in Westmorland in the Lake District region of north-west England. Shielings were temporary or seasonal settlements used during the medieval period by shepherds and herders who moved livestock to upland pastures during summer months, a practice known as transhumance. The site represents evidence of this important medieval agricultural system, which sustained upland communities and formed a significant part of pastoral economy in northern England. The monument survives as earthwork remains that document the physical infrastructure of medieval upland pastoral husbandry in this landscape.
