Remarks, 

The haughs here on both sides of the river, are 
bounded by banks, the base of which is about 30 
feet above the river. On the north side there is 
an interesting boulder of chert limestone at this 
level. On the bank above this boulder (about 
30 feet) another boulder of the same nature 
shows its top above the surface. Large deposits 
here of sand and gravel form the old river 
bank. Asand pit shows a depth of 20 feet. 
. The turnpike road passes over this flat. On the 
east side of the road a steepish bank rises from 
the flat. The line of bank is more deeply 
curved than is usual when formed by a river. 
It rather resembles the margin of a lake. 
The old bank, mostly covered by a plantation, 
rises very steeply from the flat land to a height 
of about 70 feet. It is continuous and paralle}|- 
with the river for about two miles between 
Wark village and Carham church. 
The old cliff is distinctly traceable for three or 
four miles at the places here indicated. At 
Wooden Mill the water-line coincides with the 
base of a trap rock which has a vertical side 
facing the river. The 100 feet contour line of 
the Ordnance Survey coincides with the base of 
this rock. 
. The bank is very distinct. A similar line is 
visible on the south side of the river.
