Auchenhay is an ancient settlement located approximately one kilometre south of Auchenhay in Kirkcudbrightshire, south-western Scotland. The site represents evidence of early settlement activity in the region, though detailed archaeological investigation and published scholarly assessment of its specific dating and character remain limited in the accessible record. As with many such upland or marginal settlements in south-western Scotland, the site likely reflects patterns of land use and habitation spanning the medieval or early modern period, though firm chronological attribution would require archaeological survey and excavation data. The designation under Historic Environment Scotland records indicates its recognised heritage value within the broader landscape of Kirkcudbrightshire's settlement archaeology.
