  That would have been a horizontal 'squirrels cage' windmill tower at one point I think...

The blades on the right here have bent down a fair bit!!

  Yeah, it was a windmill. The power for the tower at the top was generated at this location and sent to the top in the conduit. But between crazy winds over the messa, and a war.... it hasn't faired well :-p
