Helen,
Unless anyone can be more positive, I'm fairly sure I can place it :-)

Lodge appeared as an address for a couple of households in the 1851
Census for Canonbie.
Immediately before calling at Lodge the enumerator called at Bochlin.
Subsequently he
called at Plantinghead and then Overtown.

On the Pathfinder 531 Sheet, both Evertown and Boughlin are marked.
The former at NY 358762 and Boughlin at NY 367763. On the first edition
survey OS map Plantinghead is shown and I suspect Lodge is shown as
Glenzier Lodge.

From Boughlin there is - on the Pathfinder map - a track running south
through a Sheep Wash (marked) which comes to an end shortly afterwards.
The early OS map shows Glenzier Lodge at the end of this track.

I hope this helps.
