Shieling 950m SSW of Mounthooly is a seasonal pastoral shelter dating to the medieval or early modern period, located in Northumberland. The monument represents a form of upland transhumance practice whereby livestock herds were moved to higher pastures during summer months, with shepherds occupying simple stone structures for the duration of their stay. The physical remains consist of the characteristic low stone foundations typical of shielings found throughout northern Britain. Such structures are integral to understanding the pastoral economy and land use patterns of upland Northumberland across several centuries.
