Two medieval shielings 210m north west of Clough Fold is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the remains of two seasonal pastoral structures located in Cumberland. Shielings were temporary dwellings used by shepherds and herders during the summer months when livestock were moved to upland pastures, a practice known as transhumance that was widespread throughout medieval Britain. The structures date to the medieval period and represent evidence of the pastoral economy and land use patterns of northern England during this time. The site contributes to understanding medieval upland settlement and agricultural practices in the Lake District region.
