Shieling, 120m west of Paddaburn Crags, is a prehistoric or early medieval temporary settlement site located in Northumberland. The monument consists of the archaeological remains of a shieling, a type of seasonal pastoral structure historically used by shepherds and herders during summer grazing periods. Such sites are characteristic of upland pastoral economies in northern Britain, though the precise dating and period of occupation at this particular location remain to be established through archaeological investigation. The site's location in the upland landscape reflects its functional adaptation to transhumant pastoralism, a practice whereby communities moved livestock to high ground during warmer months.
