Lettershaws is a platform settlement located approximately one kilometre northeast of Lettershaws in South Lanarkshire, Scotland. The site comprises a series of artificially levelled platforms cut into the hillside, characteristic of prehistoric or early medieval settlement activity in the upland regions of southern Scotland. Such platform settlements typically date to the Iron Age or early historic period, though precise chronological assignment for this particular site would require archaeological investigation. The survival of the platforms in the landscape provides evidence of sustained settlement patterns in what is now moorland terrain, reflecting the historical use of upland areas for habitation before landscape changes altered their character.
