gun or searchlight bracket, though more probably gun. check the site on the Defence of Great Britain Database (I’m on mobile and can’t work out how to link) for more info
That’s the fossil remains of an *Undevigintipod*, in quite remarkably good condition.
Part of your mum’s chastity belt?
Definitely a Thingumajig
That looks like part of a smugglers cove from an Enid Blyton book.
IDK but that is fascinating.
Any historic mining activity on your bit of coastline? I’d have said part of coal waste conveyor system. Gun emplacements would surely be more heavy duty, like concrete and steel?
Could be a doofer…
North east coast?
Well that thingy embedded in the rock is certainly a look out. Gibraltar’s rock is full of them that look equally as precarious!
Doofywatsit?
Rotor from a windmill?
Is that Dorset?
Yes I know what it is
It’s the mounting plate for a 6 inch Mk VII costal defence gun
My dad’s uncle had a similar kind of thing for about 50 years after WWII, and never found out what it was.
Could be an old Observer Corps station?
Mount is a definite possibility from the positioning of the bolts, but the relatively flimsy base and the size of the hole… I’m thinking reinforced bog for exceptionally fat resident. Naturally the toilet seat would have needed significant anchorage, hence the bolts.
You should report that to your local council – the remaining bits could cause someone serious damage if they fell on them.
I think it’s a …war gun. Let’s call it gunny
Reighton gap?
I have seen this one before ! It’s a pliosaur !
This parsnip is exactly the same shape as a thingy!! Tee hee
It’s an oojahcapiveea
Looks like Mappleton to me. Spent many days there hunting for fossils.
I think you’ve found one eyed willies treasure cave.
