What is recorded here
Carnbilly or Billy's Hill remains a questionable cairn in County Antrim, preserved only through a doubtful official name and an uncertain date. The hill may have marked a boundary, honoured a lost person or simply given travellers a visible point on open ground. Its true purpose has faded, leaving behind a placeholder rather than a clear monument.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN?: CARNBILLY or BILLY'S HILL. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
