Hill of Tarvit homestead and terraces is an ancient settlement site located 550 metres south-south-west of Hilltarvit Mains in Fife, Scotland. The site comprises the remains of a homestead with associated terraced earthworks, features which indicate agricultural land management practices of prehistoric or protohistoric date. The terracing suggests deliberate shaping of the landscape for cultivation or habitation purposes, common to upland settlement strategies in Scotland during the Iron Age or earlier medieval periods. The precise dating and cultural attribution of this site would require archaeological survey and excavation, though its morphology is consistent with long-term settlement and land-use patterns characteristic of rural Fife's archaeological landscape.
