The Keeldar Stone .. is still pointed out, as a boundary mark, on the confines of Jed forest, and Northumberland. It is a rough insulated mass, of considerable dimensions, and it is held unlucky to ride thrice withershins around it.

From 'Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border' by Sir Walter Scott (1802).
