Its higher than the darker spots could be a berm of some kind.
Structure then shadow of structure then slope up then shadow of slope??
FROM THE STRUCTURE LINE IT START A SLIGHT SLOPE THEN A DEEPER HOLE THAT LEAVE DARK FOR NO SIGNAL ,THEY PASS OVER HOLE
PLUS THE LIGHT PART IS ALSO BOTTOM CHANGE FROM THE HARD ROCKY BOTTOM TO SOFTE R BOTTOM
I think I have seen one of these before....here's a shot of what I think it is when you scan perpendicular to the object

that is a lock and dam bullnose which would look very similar to the above photo if you were parallel to it.
Just a guess but I think this is what you are looking at as far as shape underwater.

Thanks Redge ... I don't have to work up a diagram now that you have already ...
As this shot is not mine ... I can't be 100% sure myself ...
But all of your suggestions pose very possible scenarios ...and this is the important point ...
That we all understand how harder bottom composition ...or a rising berm can reflect more sonar data than the dark shadows and off-sloping bottom ...
You guys have done well ...
