     History
    Using Google, I've found some references to a Chezzetcook Firing & Bombing Range exisiting in the 1940s - onward. Since the aircraft probably fired at & dropped small bombs on targets in the water, and this bunker was near the water, my educated guess is that the remains depicted are that of the range control station. It would have had an observation tower used by personnel to score the firing & bombing, as well as perhaps a communications tower for antennas to communicate with the aircraft, range patrol vessels, etc.
