The point/ledge south east of Swanage is Peveril. South of that is
Durlston Bay, south of Durlston Bay is Durlston Head. Then around the
corner is Anvil Point with its lighthouse.

Are you thinking of Durlston (Head)  Castle
http://www.durlstoncastle.co.uk/? Not that I really think it fits your
description...

Considerably further west along this coast, about the same distance
again as from Anvil Point to St Alban's Head (or St Aldhelm's Head) is
Clavell Tower, just above Kimmeridge Bay
http://www.landmarktrust.org.uk/news/ClavellTower.htm. That was falling
into the sea and was relocated brick-by-brick. It sort of fits your
description better...?

If you have photos I should be able to help further. I know that
coastline reasonably well -- fantastic scenery.

Regards,

Simon

Between Wareham and Swanage in Dorset on the A351 lies the village of
Corfe 
Castle and the site of the ruins of Corfe Castle [which dates to the
11th 
century].

Not far away on a bluff above the coastline near Swanage is the ruin of
what 
presently resembles the first three stories of the Leaning Tower of
Pisa.

I am trying to discover the name of the ruin of that leaning tower.

Can anyone help me ?

I have a couple of photos taken back in the summer of 2005 showing this 
tower; one from close up and the other from a distanceif these might
help.
