Standard Hill Triangulation Pillar
Image: © Rossographer Taken: 22 Feb 2011
Trig pillar situated on a hill between Holywood and Dundonald in north County Down. The pillar lies in a field accessed from Church Road and is in excellent condition, although it has been partially buried - an earlier picture at http://www.trigpointing-ireland.org.uk/one_image.php?i=278 shows the full pillar. On a clear day the views are excellent in all directions. See also Image and Image I am unsure why this has been named 'Standard Hill' as I can find no trace of that name on any map. The townland is Ballykeel.
