Abstract:		 An introduction to shielings (huts that served as temporary, summer, accommodation for people involved in transhumance, that is the removal of stock from permanent dwellings to exploit areas of summer pasture some distance away from the main settlement). Descriptions of the asset type and its development as well as its associations and a brief chronology are included. In England most shielings occur in upland areas such as the Lake District, eastern Cumbria, Northumberland and western County Durham, while examples have also been recorded in locations like the Isle of Man, Cornwall and Dartmoor. They are commonly documented in the Scottish uplands and islands and transhumance involving the use of shielings has a complex history in the British Isles.
