As a curiosity, you'll notice that the two radar dishes also resemble a large fire basket. This was done as a reference to the practice of lighting beacons to warn of the Spanish Armada.

The stainless steel memorial is set on a Purbeck stone plinth. It represents two radar dishes which are arranged in such a way that they also form a large fire basket. This reflects both ancient and modern methods to warn of invasion: fires were lit as beacons to warn of the Spanish armada while radar forms the modern equivalent. The structure was assembled with assistance from a team of local residents. The tiered stone base is also a good resting place for weary walkers! - and allows them spectacular views of the coastline.
