The farm of Hadden stands near the border with England. A medieval chapel may once have stood near here, giving the farm its name.
The farmstead is typical of this area, comprising a large farmhouse and garden, standing a short distance from a large range of buildings, arranged around a courtyard. A row of farm cottages, now private dwellings, stands a short distance to the north.

NT 7874 3621 An evaluation was carried out in October 2005 at Hadden in advance of the construction of a house. This location is thought to lie within the area formerly occupied by the medieval village of Hadden. Sherds of 12th/13th-century pottery and lumps of iron slag were recovered from a spread of stones on the border between the agricultural land and a steeply sloping bank.
Report lodged with Scottish Borders SMR.
