Roer Water is an ancient house site located in Shetland, Scotland, situated approximately three hundred metres east of the north-west end of a loch. The site is recorded in the Historic Environment Scotland database under the reference SM6029. As with many prehistoric and early historic structures in Shetland, the house represents evidence of settlement patterns in the islands, though detailed archaeological investigation and chronological determination of the site remain limited in the available scholarly record. The location near a freshwater loch would have provided access to essential resources for settlement.
