'Chimney caps' are widely available, like those here. Just enquire at your nearest builders merchant.

Is the chimney still in use??

[buildersmate]

Even if it is, you can still put a cowl on it.

Just make sure that the cowl is suitable for the type of fuel you have because if it is serving a gas appliance then the wrong flue terminal could be dangerous and it will be condembed...
