Grevasand is an ancient house located 250 metres east-south-east of Bitch Geo on the Ness of Hillswick in Shetland, Scotland. The site represents domestic settlement of the Iron Age or Norse period, though precise dating remains uncertain without detailed archaeological investigation. The structure survives as a low ruined foundation, reflecting the building traditions characteristic of Shetland's early settlement patterns. Its location on the exposed Ness of Hillswick suggests it occupied a prominent coastal position, typical of settlements exploiting marine and terrestrial resources during the prehistoric or medieval period.
