BEWICK (OLD), a township in the parish of EGLINGHAM, northern division of COCIUETDALE ward, county of NORTHUMBERLAND, 7 miles (S.E. by E.) from Wooler, containing 247 inhabitants. Here was anciently a chapel, dedicated to the Holy Trinity, the ruins of which are situated a little to the north-west of the village. On Bewick hill is an encampment of a semicircular form, with a double rampart; and at Hareup- burn, half a mile eastward, is another, supposed to have been an outwork: they were probably constructed by the ancient Britons, and were afterwards occupied by the Romans.
