Shieling 930m SSW of Mounthooly is a seasonal pastoral shelter, likely dating to the early modern period, located in the upland landscape of Northumberland. The monument represents evidence of transhumant herding practices whereby communities moved livestock to high pastures during summer months. Its physical form comprises a simple stone-built structure typical of shieling camps found throughout the Scottish Borders and northern English uplands. The site contributes to understanding of medieval and early modern agricultural exploitation of marginal upland terrain in north-eastern England.
