Shieling 950m SSW of Mounthooly is a seasonal pastoral shelter located in Northumberland, England. The structure dates to the early modern period and represents the transhumance pastoralism practised in the upland regions of northern England, whereby shepherds and herders moved livestock to higher ground during summer months. The shieling would have provided temporary accommodation for those tending flocks in the hills, forming part of the broader upland pastoral economy of the border regions. The monument is recorded as a heritage asset of archaeological significance reflecting the historical use and management of Northumberland's moorland landscape.
