I don’t know what this is exactly, but it’s located at the mouth of the Nene river, in front of a place called Gedney Drove End. This “islet” (the ruins of a lighthouse ? a redoubt ?) is located at the boundary between the Lincolnshire and Norfolk regions, on the east coast of England.

Circular structure in the Wash, Lincolnshire / Norfolk, UK.
This was built to hold a freshwater reservoir, and was part of a 1970’s feasibility study for an ambitious scheme which never happened. Nowadays, according to English Nature, “The Outer Trial Bank, an artificial island, is an important site for breeding seabirds.”
