Medieval shieling on Greyfell Common 310m north west of Stantling Loan is a scheduled ancient monument located in Cumberland, England. The site represents a pastoral settlement from the medieval period, reflecting the upland agricultural practices of northern England where seasonal movement of livestock to high pasture grounds was a fundamental aspect of the farming economy. Shielings of this type typically comprised simple stone structures used by herders during summer months when cattle were moved to higher ground for grazing. The monument survives as earthwork remains on Greyfell Common, preserving evidence of the medieval economy and land use patterns in the Pennine uplands.
