Medieval shieling south of Cow Green is a seasonal pastoral settlement located in Westmorland, dating to the medieval period. Shielings were temporary structures used by communities engaged in transhumance pastoralism, whereby livestock was moved to upland pastures during summer months whilst permanent settlements remained in the valley. The site comprises the physical remains of structures associated with this pastoral economy, reflecting the exploitation of marginal upland areas for pastoral agriculture during the medieval centuries. Such sites are significant for understanding the organisation of medieval rural settlement and land use practices in the northern Pennine regions.
