Stone pillar that tapers towards a point (7)

I believe the answer is:

obelisk

(Other definitions for obelisk that I've seen before include "Pyramidal monument" , "Tapering, rectangular stone column" , "Square stone column that tapers" , "Tapering square pillar" , "Cleopatra's Needle, for instance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
