Thanks for the pictures of Horse Rigg.

I found this reference to Horse Ridge:
COLDSMOUTH AND THOMPSON'S WALLS TOWNSHIP.

The origin of this modern township^ is very obscure. Possibly it was
a conglomeration of various small vills clustered round the north side of
Cheviot of which the traces have been lost in modern times.

Thompson's Walls, formerly Antechester. — In a survey of the
barony of Wark in Oueen Elizabeth's day there is an allusion to
' the parcell of ground commonlie called Thompson's Walls, or Antechester,
a member of Kilham, h'ing between Kilham and Shotton,'* but Mr. Bates
in his Border Holds attributes quite another site to Antechester, placing
it on the high ground to the west of Mindrum between the range of Horse
Ridge and the Camp Hill, being led to do so by various maps of North-
umberland dating from the later eighteenth and earlier nineteenth centuries.^
To place it so far north and across Bowmont water is quite inadmissible
in view of an allusion to ' Chester' in a 1223 boundary delimitation of Trollop,
which on one side touched the College,^ and of its association with Kilham

Horseridge from the Carham burials in the Parish Register of St Cuthberts church. It stated that he died in Horseridge, North Britain which was the name for Scotland a the time. As Carham is officially an English village the farm would be classed as in England, but if the farm was in the north of the Parish it could actually have been in Scotland.

My 5th Great Grandfather John Hall died in a location called "Horseridge Scotland" Apr 1783.
He was a joiner and travel from farm to farm. He worked mainly in Northumberland.
In Northumberland they have Farm name index, which also listed the closest township and parish.
Does anyone know of such an index, or the location "Horseridge Scotland".

He was buried in Carham. I am unaware of Horserigg near Mindrum, as you said it is on the border. Can you give me any information on this Horserigg near Mindrum?
