Anyone know anything about a barrow which once existed on Campden Hill in Kensington?

I've not read of anything in that area at all - nothing shown on Magic either. If there was anything there, it's long gone under the college I suspect.

Perhaps this may be of some use

I decided to visit the loft and dig out my copy of of Gordon's , p84 has a mention of Kensington but is merely about the upper garden at Kensington being known as the "siege of Troy".
Kennington getas a mention in relation to it's "sacred mound" but not much info. This is just a quick look via the index I'll have a proper butchers later .

'Ere - I dunno if this is within your remit:

I stumbled across it whilst researching some other wells - I had no idea there were so many "visitable" wells in London! Yay!
