Shek Shan, near To Kwa Wan [????-????]

Demolished / No longer exists

Both the 1896 and 1903 overlays in Gwulo's Marvellous Mapping Tool show a place called Shek Shan near Ko Shan and the confluence of Chatham Rd North, Ma Tau Wai Rd and Kowloon City Rd.

There is no Chinese lettering so i can't tell if the Shek stands for Stone or Snake (two common usages).

I can find no reference to this area, which I'm taking to represent another member, albeit minor, of the " lost hills of Kowloon". 

Does anyone have any information to share? 

Thanks in advance!

Thank you moddsey, that helps. Good topographic detail and clarification in the Chinese. I guess the place marked was more like a processing area for the quarries "shek shan" than a "shan" itself. Much appreciated
