| Ok, its in the Central Pacific and the structure is made of concrete.
And the answer is germane to this web site and of interest to most of you.
And that is a bomb crater next to the structure.
Clue - look at the scale at the bottom left and compare it to the bomb crater.

Country:  | Looks like a radar dish similar to the one in the James Bond movie in Cuba (I think it was Goldeneye).

Another clue. The shape of the structure is bowl shaped.

| Ok, some more information.
1) It is in the Marshall Islands
2) It has to do with explosions of the largest kind
3) It is a concrete dome shaped structure

Country: | It's actually on Runit Island. Wildcat beat me to it. The crater with the concrete cap was the Cactus test crater, which was one test in the Hardtack I series.
