Medieval shieling 70m west of Trout Beck is a pastoral settlement structure located in Westmorland, England. The site comprises the remains of a shieling, a temporary or seasonal dwelling used by shepherds during transhumance pastoralism in the medieval period, when livestock was moved to upland grazing grounds. Shielings of this type are characteristic of upland farming practices in northern England during the medieval and early modern periods, representing an important adaptation to the use of marginal landscapes for pastoral agriculture. The monument's location near Trout Beck reflects the typical placement of such structures near water sources essential for both human habitation and livestock management in the fells.
