No particular reason, they are both on the coast road beside each other, guarding (ahem) the mouth to the river. just wondering to myself what kind of useful purpose they might serve....

Thats all I can do

If old Ann Summers was a giant, she'd be trying to sell them

Cool pics Cian. I rekon they might have been lookout posts, or becons to warn of stuff.
