Old milestone The by-passed, cut off section of the A698 at Newton showing the chunky milestone 6 miles from Jedbergh.   Access is through a small metal gate to the southwest with a larger gate, locked, next to it.   This part of the lane is being covered with autumn leaves but nearer the gate are piles of stone and brick rubble.
