Etymology
This is probably from OE Mannan-hyll , 'Manna's hill,' v. hyll , with West Country o for a . It is clear that in modern times there has been confusion with the common word money by some process of folk-etymology. The suggestion in EPN (s. v. monig ) that the first element is many must be withdrawn.The hill is a single isolated one.
