Etymology
v. hyll . The forms are insufficient for a firm etymology of the first element, but byrgen 'burial place' is possible. This was suggested for Burnhill PN Bk 165 on the grounds that there is a burial mound on that hill.
The context of the early references is discussed in Part 1 77, together with those for Chesthill . The suggestion in Part 1 that Bran (t ) Hill , a TA f.n. in Eaton township, might preserve the name now seems ill-advised.Burnell 1696 is likely to be the latest reference found.
