Shieling north of Jerrycalf Rigg is a prehistoric or early medieval seasonal pastoral structure located in Cumberland. The monument comprises the remains of a small stone-built dwelling, characteristic of shielings used as temporary shelters during transhumant herding practices in upland areas. Such structures represent evidence of pastoral land use patterns in northern England during periods when livestock were moved to higher ground for summer grazing. The site's exact dating remains uncertain, though shielings of this type are generally associated with medieval and later pastoral economies, though some may have earlier origins.
