Stackaberg is a prehistoric cairn and homestead site located on the island of Fetlar in Shetland, Scotland. The site comprises a substantial cairn of stone, characteristic of Bronze Age funerary or ceremonial monuments found throughout northern Britain, alongside evidence of domestic settlement activity. The homestead component indicates occupation and habitation in antiquity, though the precise chronology and relationship between the cairn and settlement phases requires further archaeological investigation.
