Medieval shieling on south bank of White Lyne 130m WSW of confluence with Little Hare Grain is a pastoral settlement site located in Cumberland. The monument comprises the remains of a temporary or seasonal shelter associated with transhumant livestock herding practices, a characteristic feature of medieval upland economy in northern England. Shielings of this type were occupied during summer months when pastoral communities moved stock to higher pastures, with the site's riverside location providing access to water and grazing resources. The archaeological remains represent an important testament to the mobile pastoral strategies that sustained medieval rural communities in the Pennine uplands.
