Hi DaveCoordinates are 44 29 228 by 64 20 086 with the elev 21 m.I wouldn't=
rule out a lighthouse as it is at the top of an inlet - most things on the=
railway are in this part of the world but it would not have been a very use=
ful lighthouse.We use to call lighthouses so positioned as range lights and=
were useful for fishing.As in go to a line between A and B and open out th=
e range light! Make a set there!Not as accurate as GPS but a lot of fish we=
re so caught.In discussion with a friend he opinioned that it might be a li=
me kilm.I'm not sure if they used lime stone or bones for feed or perhaps e=
ither to produce mortar lime for use in making stone cellars, chimneys and =
so on. They were placed near the water because the feed often came by boat.=
Slacked lime seems to ring a =A0bell. There is another one around on a poi=
nt in the bay. You might know more about this than I. or perhaps someone ca=
n fill us in on the process.=A0An interesting spot nevertheless !Paul
