Smoke stack?

A small stone tower on Dodds End overlooking Nenthead in Cumbria. This area is covered in old mine workings and ruined buildings. The lead and silver are no longer financially viable to extract but the remains of this activity are strangely beautiful. This is in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. I would question the "Natural" part as industry and rural activities such as sheep farming and grouse shooting have transformed the natural. Still, what the hell? it is beautiful.
