Shieling, 110m south of Bull Crag, is a prehistoric or early medieval pastoral settlement located in Cumberland, England. The monument comprises the remains of a temporary or seasonal dwelling structure associated with transhumance practices, whereby communities moved livestock to upland pastures during summer months. The site's physical form reflects the modest architectural investment typical of such pastoral camps, with evidence of stone foundations or enclosures characteristic of shieling settlements across northern Britain. Dating and cultural attribution remain subjects of archaeological investigation, though such sites are commonly associated with both Iron Age and medieval periods of upland land use in the Lake District and surrounding regions.
