compiler is always printing a hexadecimal/octal number

I was just beginning to learn about references in C++, and i tried the following code:

#include <iostream>

    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
    {
        int ival = 1024;
        int &refVal = ival;
        // refVal refers to (is another name for) ival
        cout<< &refVal<<endl;
        return 0;
    }

And it returning this number:

0x61feb8

I don't know what it is? Please also elaborate if you feel i am lacking some basic/very important knowledge here!
