What is recorded here
Duntervy Castle, Auchtyfardle Castle is a possible medieval castle in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, so vague and unsteady that it may be phantom or forgotten. It resists description, which suits a place half-lost. If it existed, it was small, private and old enough to disappear without ceremony.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Duntervy Castle, Auchtyfardle Castle as Castle (medieval)(possible). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Duntervy Castle, also known as Auchtyfardle Castle, was likely built by the Douglas family in the 14th century. It is remembered for its strategic location in the Scottish Borders and its association with the turbulent history of the region during the Wars of Scottish Independence.
