Lower Slackbuie is an unenclosed settlement located approximately 90 metres east of 1 West Heather Road in Inverness-shire, Scotland. The site consists of dispersed structural remains typical of prehistoric or early historic settlement patterns in the Scottish Highlands, where communities occupied undefended domestic sites rather than fortified or formally bounded settlements. Unenclosed settlements of this type are commonly dated to the Bronze Age through to the early medieval period, though precise chronology for individual sites often remains uncertain without archaeological investigation. The survival of such remains in the landscape provides evidence of long-term patterns of Highland settlement and land use in antiquity.
