It could be for carrying. Oil,  fresh water,  electricity,   Telephone cables,  drain water

Not entirely sure why it would be carrying electricity or telephone cables to an uninhabited rock  :P

Could there have been a lighthouse there at one time i.e. bridge to gain access?

Looks to me like a wall around the rocks to the right?

Path must be behind the wall, at the same level as the lower part of the bridge?
Handrails (or cables or ropes) at the top. There are a series of 2 struts/stays.

A pipe?! That's the craziest suggestion I've heard in a long time! ;D ;D

P.S.  I don't see any connection to Groudle Glen?!

One other possibility is that it could be the Menai Straits

Surely a pipe would be round, not the shape this one is at the  bottom?

Scouse Boy, I do wish that you would give links rather than wild guesses. That way we wont waste time hunting. It certainly isn't the Menai Bridge!

.    Underwater cables to take the power or phones over to the adjacent mainland or other islands

If you look to the other side of the water, you can see something that could be. The. Pipe arriving on the other shore.

That's why I proposed the Orkneys as a group of islands with short "sounds" between them

I noticed you'd edited more 'ideas' into reply #16  :-X

Why would a pipeline start at the top of a cliff? Can you post a snip from the photo to show where the pipeline arrives at the other shore?

At the. Bottom of the photo are things which could be part of a boat

good suggestion, but more likely to be small navigation lights than a big lighthouse
