Is this structure overlooking the ocean or a sea?

Yes this structure overlooks the english channel and has a very useful purpose.

We need Monty to jump in on this one!

Does it have anything to do with avionics?

Hmmm not sure, I guess it could be used for spotting planes in distress.

Air traffic control?

That probably doesn't make sense though, as you said it wasn't radar.

I'm starting to think it's a privy.

By your coastwatch station, I guess you mean coast guard station?

Is the location near the South West Coast trail? From the previous hints (east of Weymouth and west of Portsmouth), I suppose somewhere along the trail between Weymouth and Poole?

I heard you calling my name Ann ;-)a

When I looked originally I could get very few hits on coast guard station... seems in the UK it is coastguard as in HM Coastguard.

Anyway if I'm correct I'll leave it open to the first taker.
