Two Romano-British hut circles and three shielings on Holwick Scars is a scheduled ancient monument located approximately 250 metres south of Hungry Hall in Yorkshire. The site comprises evidence of two distinct periods of upland occupation: Romano-British roundhouses, which represent Romano-British settlement activity in the northern Pennine region, and three shielings, the temporary summer pastoral structures associated with medieval and early modern transhumance practices. The hut circles and shieling remains are situated on the moorland landscape of Holwick Scars, a location that demonstrates long-term use of this elevated terrain for both settled and seasonal agricultural exploitation. This layered occupation sequence illustrates the enduring significance of the upland zone across multiple historical periods.
