1. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Ophel
   hill; mound, the long, narrow, rounded promontory on the
   southern slope of the temple hill, between the Tyropoeon and the
   Kedron valley (2 Chr. 27:3; 33:14; Neh. 3:26, 27). It was
   surrounded by a separate wall, and was occupied by the Nethinim
   after the Captivity. This wall has been discovered by the
   engineers of the Palestine Exploration Fund at the south-eastern
   angle of the temple area. It is 4 feet below the present
   surface. In 2 Kings 5:24 this word is translated "tower" (R.V.,
   "hill"), denoting probably some eminence near Elisha's house.
   

2. Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's)
Ophel, a tower; darkness; small white cloud
