The name is "The Huers Hut" but what is the function [if there is one] of this building?

This one looks like a toy house, corbel-dome, castellated parapet, very prominent chimney stack, pointed arch window openings and ever striking whitewash etc quite fun.

Thank you for the photograph Pete Lush but please give us a little bit information if you can.

This hut was where the fishermen had a lookout man stationed ready to call up the fishing fleet of the town when he saw sign of Pilchards, this might be a flock of feeding birds which would often be the sign taken for some good fishing.
