Built in two stages, the lower one vertical, terminating in a projecting weathered string course, and the upper section, tapering and finishing with a slightly projecting narrow band and heavy terminal cresting. The chimney is all that remains of the building which housed the pumping engine to drain the copper mine owned by the Egerton family of Oulton.
