The symbol shows the location of the Camlough (Northern Ireland) transmitter which serves 6,800 homes. The bright green areas shown where the signal from this transmitter is strong, dark green areas are poorer signals. Those parts shown in yellow may have interference on the same frequency from other masts.

Are there any planned engineering works or unexpected transmitter faults on the Camlough (Northern Ireland) mast?

The transmitter should be back on air now. It seems that this is another transmitter with a fault that Freeview haven't bothered to mention. The multiplex BBC B HD was Off the air due to a fault, from 8:24am to 12:47pm on 8th Nov 2019.

Unfortunately the site owner has not been able to find time to update any listings here. For an up-to-date list of which channels are on which multiplex, see Channel listings | Freeview
Unfortunately, as you know, you can only get the 3 PSB multiplexes on Light transmitters.
