Modern limekiln. A large quarry pit, apparently disused, is shown on the Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868 at the northernmost extent of the site (PRN 2138.11); a set of three lime kilns, marked 'Old Limekilns' is associated with it. The grid reference marks the position of the central kiln, which is not thought to survive above ground.

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 northernmost kiln, which still survives.

A possible prehistoric settlement site reported at Billown.

Undated standing stones. A group of three standing stones located at Ballahott, east of the burial cairn at Billown. The stones are shown on a plan prepared by WC Cubbon published in 1945. There is a definitely established local tradition in the neighbourhood that the Billown 'Circle' (the cairn mentioned above) and the standing stones surrounding it are closely associated. These three stones are located in the large 37-acre field immediately to the SW of, and overlooked by Ballahott farm. The grid reference refers to the centre of the field.

Undated standing stone. This stone was recorded on the Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868, but is thought to have been removed in the first or second decades of the 20th century. Its position is estimated from the 1868 OS. The well established local tradition that the Billown 'Circle' (PRN 0146) and the standing stones surrounding it are closely associated appears not to have saved this particular example from disturbance.

A possible Bronze Age standing stone reported at Billown. A stone is shown at circa SC259698 on a plan drawn by W. Cubbon in 1942, but is not described.

Prehistoric cairn. The site comprises a concentration of large boulders, the majority of them quartz, which when investigated in 1929 formed an incomplete oval chamber about 10m long and 8.5m wide. Two large boulders towards the south, though fallen, were thought to have formed an entrance. The position of stones on the east side had been affected by an uprooted tree. The function of the structure was considered to be sepulchral, perhaps of Neolithic date and may have been originally earth-covered.

Wilson's successor who completed the work Wilson had begun. Hildesley finished the Manx New Testament in 1767 and the complete Bible in 1772, seven years after Parliament seized the lordship. He maintained the parochial libraries and extended the schools. He anguished over the language decline, calling Mann the only country in the world that is ashamed of its own native tongue. Hildesley continued Wilson's mission, but without Wilson's force of personality and in a world where the institutional supports were being withdrawn one by one.
