Two Romano-British hut circles and three shielings on Holwick Scars 250m south of Hungry Hall is a scheduled ancient monument located in the Teesdale area of Yorkshire. The site comprises two hut circles of Romano-British date, indicating settlement or activity during the Roman period when this upland area was occupied or exploited, alongside three shielings—temporary pastoral structures—which date to the medieval or early modern period and reflect the later use of these moorland slopes for seasonal livestock herding. The hut circles represent evidence of Romano-British land use in this marginal upland setting, whilst the shielings demonstrate the continuity of pastoral activity across the landscape over many centuries. The monument is designated for its archaeological significance in revealing patterns of settlement and land use across different historical periods in the Pennine uplands.
