Shieling and enclosure 840m SSW of Mounthooly is a prehistoric and later settlement site located in Northumberland. The monument comprises a shieling, a seasonal pastoral shelter, and an associated enclosure, representing evidence of upland land use and exploitation. The site reflects patterns of transhumance and pastoral farming practised across the northern Pennines and upland Northumberland during the medieval and post-medieval periods, though the enclosure may incorporate earlier elements.
