Two medieval shielings 210m north west of Clough Fold is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the remains of two seasonal pastoral structures situated in the upland landscape of Cumberland. Shielings were temporary or semi-permanent settlements used during the summer months for animal husbandry, particularly the herding and dairy production associated with transhumance pastoral practices. These examples represent the material evidence of medieval highland farming economies and land use patterns characteristic of the northern English uplands during the medieval period. The monument contributes to understanding the seasonal occupation and exploitation of marginal agricultural land in pre-modern times.
