Shieling 900m north east of Rotheryhaugh is a seasonal pastoral shelter located in Cumberland, England. The structure dates to the medieval or early modern period when such simple dwellings were constructed by herders managing livestock in upland areas during summer months. The site comprises the remains of a low stone-built structure characteristic of shieling settlements found throughout northern England and Scotland. These temporary pastoral enclosures represent an important aspect of transhumance farming practices, wherein communities moved animals to higher pastures during the summer grazing season before returning to lowland settlements in winter.
