[Account] of Roxburghshire Blackwood's Map of Roxburghshire 025: 026 [Situation] In the Southern division of the County of Roxburgh. The name of this Parish has the adjunct variously spelt town toun and ton.The last mode has been adopted, - ton in such proper names being the modern orthography for toun of town. The Parish of Kirkton is bounded on the North by that of Cavers, on the East by Cavers, on the South partly by Teviothead and Cavers and on the West partly by Teviothead, Hawick and Cavers.There is no detached part of this Parish situate within the boundaries of another nor is there within its limits a detached portion of another Parish. Consisting of a strip stretching from North-East to South-West - it measures about 8 miles in length and on the average 1 1/2 mile in breadth and contains an area of about 6,223 Imperial acres. Between the Streams Allan Water on the Southern boundary and Slitrig Water the district is generally mountainous and rugged fit only for pasture and north-eastward of the Slitrig it chiefly undulates in small green hills suitable as pasturage but usually with the hollows between them ploughed. The soil on the arable lands is poor and shallow.

OS1/29/23/2 KIRKTON [parish] [continued from page 1] of the Turnpike Road between Hawick and Carlisle crosses the northern division. There is no railway no minerals are wrought and no manufactory carried on. There is only the hamlet Kirkton in the northern district wherein the Parish Church and School are rather inconveniently situated. The district is altogether of an uninteresting character and though many improvements have of late years been introduced its history &c. may still be summed up in the declaration "One generation passeth and another cometh". The Catrail or Picts' Work Ditch - an ancient line of defence supposed to have been between the Romanized Britains of the Cumbrian Kingdom and their Saxon invaders on the East which consists of a fosse and a double rampart may still be traced at the southern extremity of Parish. There are earth works scattered throughout the district which are characterized by parties in locality as ancient British Forts This rampart may be traced from Galashiels in Selkirkshire on the North to Peel Fell on boundary between Roxburgh and Northumberland on the South. The site of a chapel which is traditionally reported to have been used till the time of the Reformation has been shewn - its grave yard may still be distinguished by an earthen dyke.
