About the memorial: It is thought that a battle stone to commemorate the Battle of Otterburn, was originally erected on the battlefield close to the location of the fiercest fighting. A secondary account describes it as 'nothing more than a roughly carved boulder'. The monument in its present form was erected in 1777 about 150m from its original location so it could be seen from the Turnpike road to Scotland, that was being constructed at the time. The monument incorporates a medieval cross base, and the shaft is said to have formerly been the kitchen lintel at Otterburn Tower or was brought from nearby Davyshiel. (Historic England)
