I think it is some sort of survey post for the hydro dam Loch Errochty which was built in 1957. There is a very good view of the dam wall to the NW from this point. The hill in the background is the 892 metre high Beinn a' Chuallaich. text/html 2006-10-05T11:40:33GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/6283 Michael Knapton 53.383583 -1.572995 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/253916 Rivelin Rocks is a Gritstone edge.

The lower was built in 1845 and the upper three years later. Locally they are known as Rivelin Dams. This photograph is taken from the dam wall of the lower reservoir, just by the overflow. The grass covered dam wall of the upper reservoir can be seen in the centre of the picture. text/html 2006-05-29T17:57:04GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/6283 Michael Knapton 53.416722 -1.541067 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/176705 Although called Hillsborough Golf course, it is not that close to the Sheffield suburb of that name and is situated between Wadsley Common and the village of Worrall.

Locally mined lead was converted into metallic lead in a furnace called an ore hearth. Peat, dried wood and coal was the fuel for this smelting process. A working shift of 12 to 15 hours produced about one ton of lead. The mill was last used in the 1870s. text/html 2006-05-28T20:53:05GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/6283 Michael Knapton 54.402884 -3.210774 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/176106 The fort is a reconstruction of the old stones.
