a metal pipe ?
Note from dad :some aspects of the building were odd for a farm
mist coming in over the mine above the farm ruins - the other half is flooded
in the mist at Turn Lowe,  The mist took 30 minutess to come down across our route making it cold and difficult to see,
me on a capped mine shaft - poor visibility which got worse as it became dark

better day and photo!

me doing a roly-poly down the hill - have fun as well !!
