Heavy Snood vibes here.

What is it?

A ladder. Specifically it's one to get out of the water at high-tide.

It's on the Hilbre Islands, England. During low tide you can walk there. But it's at the mouth of an estuary, so it can get dangerous once the tide comes. And this ladder is near an old lifeboat station

I'm no entomologist so I don't actually KNOW but I'm gonna guess outer support for a tunnel or mine shaft ๐Ÿคท

entomologist

An insect scientist? Do you mean archaeologist?

Nah, it's a play on the old meme of saying "I'm no geologist, but" about topics that have nothing to do with geology.

Since a rock wall (with or without a metal column) has a lot to do with geology, I went with a field that definitely has nothing to do with either ๐Ÿ˜
