Lusetter is a post-medieval settlement comprising two houses and an associated field system located in Shetland, Scotland. The site represents the agricultural organization of Shetland during the early modern period, when the islands supported dispersed crofting communities engaged in subsistence farming. The two houses and their surrounding cultivated fields demonstrate the typical settlement pattern and land use of post-medieval Shetland, where families occupied individual dwellings whilst working small parcels of arable and pastoral land. This archaeological site, documented under the Historic Environment Scotland designation SM3729, preserves evidence of the domestic and agricultural practices that sustained Shetland's rural population in this era.
