Ancrum Moor, Roxburghshire, 5½ miles NW. of Jedburgh, was in 1544 the scene of the defeat of 5000 English under Sir Ralph Evers and Sir Brian Latoun, by a Scottish force under the Earl of Angus and Scott of Buccleuch. A defaced monument marks the spot where Lilliard, a Scottish maiden, is said to have done prodigies of valour.
