A little further along the ridge from this scan: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=715266194

While I haven't been able to find out what these mysterious concrete edifices were for, other than that they may have been built some time between 1955 and 1975, the area is rich in industrial heritage. Old lead mine workings? Limestone quarrying? Related to the brickworks nearby, or the Cromford and High Peak Railway? Hard to tell. The landscape's human features span from pre-Roman burial sites onwards to the present day.

Built using the same process as the one documented here: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Destinations/Advanced_Outdoors_Photogrammetry

Reconstruction in the sun-facing direction is somewhat lacking - lens flare and glare from the low winter sun meant I had to disable a good fraction of cameras for texturing purposes.

Around 2.8 million triangles, from 415-odd photos.

Mining was exactly what I was thinking. Standing on top of one, I noticed the tell-tale signs, in particular an outflow/inflow basin for water.
