I presume that this square bit of grassed-over area belongs to the Martello Tower seen in the background, which originally would have been surrounded by a high cast-iron fence that has almost completely disappeared by now. Small concrete and tiled hardstandings, perhaps hut bases, can be seen dotted about, much overgrown. The paths traversing it serve as shortcuts for walkers who are trying to reach the esplanade and the beach beyond by the shortest possible route.
