At NT 46978 28467 is an ornamental well-house on top of which is the Town Cross of Selkirk, but these, says the Burgh Surveyor, were erected in 1903. He also doubts that the cross is ancient; certainly it bears no signs of antiquity. The original site is not apparent. Various references were consulted without result.
