Ballycowan Triangulation Pillar

Image: © Rossographer Taken: 18 Apr 2011

Trig pillar located in a field in Ballycowan Townland. Access is via a farm track and field from the Ballycoan Road, south east from Ballylesson or west from Carryduff. The pillar lies partially hidden by whins and is in good condition although slightly grubby. The views have been obscured by the whins to all directions except south; on a clear day the pillar offers good views over south Belfast towards Divis and Black Mountain in the west.
