Doesn't that fit with another Where Am I, wasn't that the IOM as well?

I think that was a holiday snap from MiniHistory:

This one is obviously not one of KGarrad's usual haunts on the Isle of Man  ;)

Good evening,

Good find ScOOp, I notice on one of the links, can't remember whose, that the walls nearest the rock have beenot replaced by fences.

But why does the bridge go to a rock with nothing on it, no lighthouse, no foghorn, no artillery, no electric cables, no gas pipes, no sewage pipes, no water pipes and no steps down to nowhere.

Just a guess-could it be an angling platform for sea fishing or a viewing platform for a blowhole?
