I think it's part of Mullaghacall North. What surname are you looking for.
Chimney Hills in 1910 directory-

1911 census households for Mullaghacall North-

Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for
some time
many years!

I think the Chimney Hills were at the junction of what is now the Old Coach Road and the Mill Road.

Welcome to Rootschat
This query was from 2015 (original poster hasn't been online since) but Mullaghacall is divided into two parts- North and South. Mullaghacall North is goes just to the edge of the location you describe-
