A tapering cylindrical stone built and rendered chimney, with neat brick capping. It is supported on a square mortared stone base, which contains a 0.75m wide entrance to the hearth on one side. The base is about 3m square, 2m high maximum and about 1m where built into the hillside on the S. Overall the chimney is about 15m high. Evidently it had a close connection with the nearby mines and buildings (NPRN 33749), though precise use to which it was put has not been determined. Probably mid 19th century in date. 30m above O.D.

The chimney, along with other aspects of Carmel Head, has been monitored as part of the CHERISH project, due to being at risk from natural processes exacerbated by climate change. CHERISH (Climate, Heritage and Environments of Reefs, Islands and Headlands) is an EU-funded Wales-Ireland project (2017-2022) led by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales, in partnership with the Discovery Programme: Centre for Archaeology and Innovation Ireland, Aberystwyth University: Department of Geography and Earth Sciences and Geological Survey, Ireland. Work included aerial survey in 2016 and photographic survey in 2018.
