Crookedstane is a platform settlement located approximately 200 metres east of Crookedstane in Lanarkshire, Scotland. The site consists of an artificial terrace or platform cut into the hillside, a construction technique characteristic of prehistoric and early medieval settlement in Scotland. Platform settlements of this type are typically associated with domestic occupation spanning the Bronze Age through to the early medieval period, though the specific dating of this individual site requires archaeological investigation to establish its precise chronological position. The physical remains represent a form of settlement adaptation to the upland terrain of the region, where such platforms provided level ground suitable for habitation.
