Bongate, a suburban village in Jedburgh parish, Roxburghshire, on the right side of the river Jed, contiguous to Jedburgh town, and straggling upwards of 500 yards, from near the E end of Townfoot-Bridge, along the road to Kelso. An ancient cross stood at it, and probably is represented by a large extant stone, covered with indistinct characters, and with representations of ainmals. Upwards of 90 Saxon silver coins were exhumed, in 1827, from a neighbouring field; they belonged to three different reigns, but chiefly to that of Ethelred.
