The barrier is a groyne, intended to prevent or slow down the movement of shingle along the beach. The post with a 'lampshade' at the far end of it is a marker to show where the groyne ends when it is high tide.I don’t know what the wooden(?) barrier is, nor how tall it is. Just looking at it, I thought that it could be a gull.
The beach at the edge of the army firing ranges at Hythe had new groynes installed a couple of years ago and the shingle replenished. The public beach just has shingle and some rock groynes and the shingle has to be moved back along the beach a couple of times a year.
