Two medieval shielings 240m north west of Clough Fold is an ancient monument consisting of two upland pastoral structures located in Cumberland, England. Shielings were temporary or seasonal settlements used during the medieval period for pastoral transhumance, the practice of moving livestock to upland pastures during summer months. The two examples at this location represent evidence of this widespread agricultural practice in northern England, where communities utilised marginal upland terrain for grazing management. The physical remains demonstrate the adaptation of settlement patterns to the demands of pastoral economy in the medieval landscape.
