Billown Quarry
Archaeology
Modern limekiln.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868 shows two active quarry pits (PRN 2138.12, PRN 2138.13), marked 'Quarries', associated with a further set of three 'Limekilns', all located to the south of the earlier pits and kilns which have been abandoned by this time.
The grid reference marks the position of the southernmost kiln, which still survives.
