The traditional site of a battle between English raiders returning from Scotland and their Scottish pursuers is marked by a stone pillar, erected at some time in the post-medieval period. The pillar itself is exactly on the England/Scotland border. A 19th century coal road, in use in 1828, runs past the pillar. A tollhouse was set up on the road sometime soon after 1834. The pillar is a Grade II* Listed Building protected by law.
