Abstract: In this note, we extend the results on eigenfunction concentration in billiards as proved by the third author in cite{M1}. There, the methods developed in Burq-Zworski cite{BZ3} to study eigenfunctions for billiards which have rectangular components were applied. Here we take an arbitrary polygonal billiard $B$ and show that eigenfunction mass cannot concentrate away from the vertices; in other words, given any neighbourhood $U$ of the vertices, there is a lower bound ${\displaystyle }$ int_U |u|^2 geq c int_B |u|^2 ${\displaystyle }$ for some $c=c(U)>0$ and any eigenfunction $u$.
