Medieval shieling on south bank of White Lyne 230m WSW of confluence with Little Hare Grain is a pastoral settlement site located in Cumberland. Shielings were temporary or seasonal settlements used by shepherds and herders during the medieval period, typically established in upland areas to facilitate transhumant grazing practices. The monument's position on the White Lyne reflects its historical function within the landscape economy of the northern Pennines, where such structures formed part of the management systems for extensive livestock farming.
