The Washington Monument, for instance (7)

I believe the answer is:

obelisk

(Other definitions for obelisk that I've seen before include "Dagger" , "Tall stone monument" , "Tapering, rectangular stone column" , "Monument with four sides and tapering top" , "Tapering pillar erected as monument" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
