The original Divis Triangulation Pillar which now sits in Stranmillis Court, off the Stranmillis Road in Belfast. The pillar was originally sited at J2807775479. The pillar was removed from Divis Mountain in the 1970s due to the installation of some communications equipment. It now sits in Stranmillis Court, where the Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland are based - the pillar sits in the corner of their car park. The original flush bracket on the pillar was numbered OSNIBM 2073, but this had been removed or destroyed. A replacement bracket, numbered OSBM 3211, has been put installed instead, probably for aesthetic purposes. This is probably the bracket that was previously located on a bridge in Fermanagh (exact grid reference H4828025472).
