I had no idea what this is. I thought when I saw it it was a Tunnel Vent, but there are no tunnels hereabouts that I know of. So perhaps it is some sort of agricultural silo, or cold war leftover, I wondered. My best guess was a modest water tower. Fellow Geographist Brian Robert Marshall points out that "The OS 1:2500 map of 1971 shows it as a 'tank' it also shows a pump about 50 metres south-west of it, so probably a water storage facility."
