North Straiton unenclosed settlements are prehistoric archaeological sites located in Fife, Scotland, comprising multiple settlement areas dating to the Bronze Age and Iron Age periods. The settlements, positioned approximately 605 metres west and 790 metres west-north-west of North Straiton, represent non-defensive domestic occupation typical of later prehistoric communities in eastern Scotland. These unenclosed settlements lack the defensive earthworks or stone walls characteristic of contemporary hillforts, instead consisting of scattered domestic structures arranged across the landscape, reflecting the agricultural and pastoral economy of their period. The sites are recorded under Historic Environment Scotland's INSPIRE designation SM6743 and remain significant for understanding settlement patterns and daily life in prehistoric Fife.
