Although a significant action, only a few hundred men, all of them heavy cavalry, were involved on either side. The English force was raised in Northumberland and was tasked with intervening in support of the occupation forces of Edward I. The Scots rode through the night from Biggar, interecepted them and defeated them in two, possibly three, sharp fights. The site of the battle has been said to be the field opposite the old and new burial grounds.
