MDE20240 - Probable post-medieval spoil heap at Kinsford Cross (Monument)

A doubtful barrow, probable spoil heap is visible near 'Kensford Barrow' at Kinsford Cross (MDE1199). This was visited by Grinsell in 1961, it was considered uncertain whether the site was a barrow or upcast from an adjoining quarry. In diameter the feature was thirteen paces, with a height of three feet. [1, 2] The site was visited in 1972 by the Ordnance Survey Archaeology Division, who recorded that the 0.5 metre high mound was almost certainly spoil from adjoining diggings. [3] The feature is marked as an earthwork on 25 inch 1st Edition Ordnance Survey map. [4]
