Lathrisk House is a settlement located approximately 300 metres west-north-west of Fife in Scotland. The site sits upon bedrock of the Stratheden Group, a Late Devonian formation composed of interbedded sandstone and conglomerate that shaped the underlying geology of this part of Fife.
The settlement occupies ground with distinctive geological character typical of the Stratheden Group, where alternating bands of coarser and finer sedimentary deposits would have influenced both the drainage and workability of the land. This geology would have affected how the settlement's inhabitants managed water and constructed their structures, making the underlying strata an integral aspect of the site's development and character.
Lathrisk House is protected as a scheduled monument under Historic Environment Scotland's reference SM6148, recognising its significance within Scotland's heritage record. The designation reflects the importance of understanding settlement patterns and land use within Fife during the period of occupation, contributing to broader knowledge of how communities utilised and adapted to the natural landscape of eastern Scotland.
