I think it's part of Mullaghacall North. What surname are you looking for.

Chimney Hills in 1910 directory-

There is a street in portstewart called 'The Hill', I wonder if this Chimney Hills,

The street has existed at least since the mid 1800's as seen in Griffith Valuation same townland Mullaghacall north

A  couple of mentions of Chimney hills in the mid 1800's from the commonplace book of Alexander Matthews held at Proni

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-
