Ah. Good question.

I don't have a picture of that (I'd have to crack a few more roof tiles
to do that!) but the chimney is totally 'capped' (if I understand you).

By that I mean, if you removed those three (spark arrestors?) from the
chimney, all you'd have on the horizontal part are the three holes where
they came out of the otherwise concrete flat top of the chimney.

Is 'that' what you mean by functionally 'capped'?
