Catpund is a quarry site in Shetland, Scotland, where steatite vessels were cut from the rock from prehistory onwards.

An excavation in 1988 revealed part of the quarry floor including the hollows remaining from over one hundred soapstone vessels.

There are twenty three recorded sources of steatite on Shetland,[2] but of these only two have been excavated, Catpund and Clibberswick on Unst.

The artefacts found indicated that domestic activities took place there, and that the house was in use some time during the middle to late Bronze Age.

[5] Further excavations the 1980s and early 1990s ahead of mineral extraction by the Shetland Talc company shed more light on the quarrying process.
