Two medieval shielings 25m north of Clough Fold is a pair of upland pastoral structures located in Cumberland, England. Shielings were temporary or seasonal settlements used by shepherds and their flocks during summer grazing in the highland pastures, representing an important aspect of medieval transhumance farming practices across northern Britain. The two structures survive as earthwork remains that reflect the mobile pastoral economy of the medieval period, when lowland communities exploited upland resources on a seasonal basis. These monuments constitute evidence of the extensive pastoral land management systems that characterised the medieval upland economy in the Lake District and surrounding regions.
