there is a single-ringed camp ; a cist with, bones was come upon 

 near the Lodge in 1859; and a camp crowns Harborough hill. 

 There was a cist with bones found in 1861 a little south of Plea 

 Piece, on the south side of the public road ; and again a little to 

 the south and easterly another cist in 1860. Reverting north- 

 erly again, and crossing the Lilburn on to South Middleton 

 ground near the upper end of the Long Hope, there is a camp 

 on the Foxes' knoll, and between it and the burn, a cist with 

 urn and bones was discovered in 1847. On a clayey peninsula 

 projecting into South Middleton dean, is a double-ringed camp 

 fortified at the neck ; farther south at Norman Cleugh on Ked- 

 don is a conjectural tumulus. There is a similar equivocal heap 

 on the Archer's knoll in the Cat plantation, near Ilderton.

 The. angles of the sides are

 full size in Mr Tate's Notes. 

 He remarks that it is very sharp 

 at one end ; and mistakingly 

 adds that "it is apparently of a

This slate, wherever it comes 

 from, that bleaches on the exterior to. a dirty white magnesian 

 limestone colour, is a very common component of stone celts 

 on the Borders. Length 3£ inches ; breadth at face 2 inches ; 

 at narrow end \ inch. 



Eoseden Edge and Eoseden. 



The great encampment on Eoseden Edge, in Ilderton parish, 



is mentioned in all the County Histories, where one authority 



copies from his predecessor. The oldest reference, although not 



the oldest published, is in Mark's Survey. " About a quarter of
