Description: Medieval shieling. A curvilinear bank encloses the peninsula on which the shieling is located, all other sides being cut off by watercourses and gullies. An entrance at this point allowed stock to be driven down the slope and into the enclosure, through the funnel-shaped arrangement of the banks which extend to the east and west.
