North Middleton medieval village (Cheviotside)

  • Description

    "The remains of North Middleton medieval village lie each side of a tributary of Coldgate Water. There are two rows of small plots, with enclosures and platforms representing at least six buildings facing each other across a hollow way. These remains survive as earthworks and stand over one metre high in places. The walls of some buildings are exposed and the stone and clay bonding construction can be seen. The largest building is about 27m long and the smallest 8m. Other features of the village include a well, a possible kiln and areas of ridge and furrow cultivation. Old documents suggest this is the village of North Middleton, although it was originally called Midilest Middleton when first mentioned in 1242....."
