Shieling 150m south of Tinkler Crags is a seasonal pastoral settlement structure located in Cumberland. The site represents evidence of transhumant pastoral practice, whereby livestock were moved to upland grazing grounds during summer months, a practise widespread across northern England and Scotland from at least the medieval period onwards. The shieling comprises the remains of a small building or shelter associated with this upland pastoral economy. Such structures are typically constructed from stone and represent an important aspect of the historical use and management of upland landscapes in the region.
