Two medieval shielings 60m north of Clough Fold is a pair of upland pastoral structures located in Cumberland, England. Shielings were temporary or seasonal settlements used by communities practising transhumance, the practice of moving livestock to higher ground during summer months. These examples date to the medieval period and represent the archaeological evidence of pastoral land use in the upland regions of northern England. The structures survive as earthwork remains that testify to the long-established practice of seasonal animal husbandry in the Cumbrian landscape.
