Shieling 150m south of Tinkler Crags is a seasonal pastoral shelter located in the upland landscape of Cumberland. The structure dates to the medieval or early modern period, representing the temporary accommodation used by shepherds and herders during transhumance practices, when livestock was moved to high pastures for summer grazing. The site comprises the physical remains of a simple stone-built structure typical of such shieling settlements, which were characteristic features of upland management across northern England and Scotland. These monuments are significant for understanding medieval and post-medieval agricultural practices and the seasonal exploitation of marginal lands.
