Setter is a Neolithic chambered cairn situated approximately 470 metres north-east of Seli Voe in Shetland, Scotland. The monument dates to the Neolithic period and represents the funerary traditions of early farming communities in the Scottish islands. As a chambered cairn, it would have functioned as a collective burial monument, with an internal stone chamber built within a larger mound of stacked stones. The site forms part of the broader distribution of chambered cairns found throughout Shetland and the wider Hebridean region, evidence of Neolithic settlement and ceremonial practice in Atlantic Scotland.
