Ramornie Mill is an unenclosed settlement located in Fife, Scotland, situated approximately 300 metres south-west of the mill from which it takes its name. The site is protected as a scheduled monument by Historic Environment Scotland under reference SM6901.
The settlement lies upon bedrock of the Stratheden Group, a geological formation of Late Devonian age comprising interbedded sandstone and conglomerate. These durable local stone resources would have been available to the inhabitants for building and construction purposes, though the precise form and extent of structures at the site remain to be fully determined.
Unenclosed settlements of this type typically date to the Bronze Age and Iron Age periods in Scotland. Their scattered layout, lacking the formal boundaries of later settlement patterns, reflects a distinct approach to communal organisation and land use. The protected status of Ramornie Mill acknowledges its archaeological importance to understanding prehistoric settlement patterns and social organisation in Fife.
