Carter Fell, a summit of the Cheviots, on the English Border, in Southdean parish, Roxburghshire, 11 miles S by E of Jedburgh town. Rising to an altitude of 1815 feet above sea-level, it divides the head-streams of the river Jed from those of the English Tyne. On its eastern shoulder is a depression called Carter Bar; and here it is traversed by the road from Jedburgh to NewCastle.
