North Straiton is an unenclosed settlement located 140 metres north of Straiton in Fife, Scotland. The site represents a form of prehistoric or protohistoric settlement characteristic of Bronze Age or Iron Age occupation in eastern Scotland, where communities established dwelling places without the defensive or demarcating earthwork boundaries typical of later enclosed settlements. The archaeological remains visible at the site comprise scattered structural evidence indicative of domestic occupation, though the precise dating and extent of habitation phases remain subjects for further investigation. This unenclosed settlement contributes to our understanding of settlement patterns and land use in Fife during the later prehistoric period.
