    Here's another picture I couldn't fit in previous post , with a better view of building:

    (The white building seen about 2km away across the water is Valentia Lighthouse at Cromwell Point).
    Its very difficult to see but between the tops of the two main masts is also slung a wire T-aerial, which is probably for the NAVTEX transmissions every 4 hours on 518kHz (just below the MW band) using FSK. The vertical part of the 'T' (just about visible in the same direction as the lighthouse in this picture) goes down to the roof of the building.
