Description
The chimney at Kithill, part of the Great Consols Mine, is likely an arsenic flue built in 1858. It is constructed from roughly coursed granite with some slate stone, featuring granite ashlar at the capping of the shaft and base. The chimney has a circular shaft that sits on a stepped square base, with blind rectangular panels on each face and a stepped capping. The shaft includes a moulded plinth and capping, topped with a projecting square slab. There are associated earthworks and shafts nearby. This chimney was part of the Kithill Consols mining complex, which operated until the late 19th century, primarily focusing on tin extraction. In the late 20th century, steel bands were wrapped around the shaft, which also has aerials attached. Located at the top of Kithill, the chimney serves as a prominent landmark.
