Yep, it’s a standard run of the mill bulk storage tank.
The rectangular flanges you mentioned are for attaching the legs to it. The bottom is conical shaped in order to ensure the ability to drain/empty it completely.

The tank, which is 27m high, has no markings and is thought to have fallen from a ship before being washed up on the west of Benbecula.
27m long.

It’s a segment of the vertical portion of a windmill (the electric generating kind).

he real question is, where are the other 5579? Probably the weight?
I ship stuff by container all the time...we have to mark each item as to its weight. If that thing is a silo thingy, 5000 lbs seems to be about right.

The end looks like half of one of Madonna’s brassieres, in the 90’s.

Does it look like the cone at the tip is transparent at the top/left side to anyone else?
