A strange modern stone alignment, well concrete actually, which may have been something to do with the brick structure on the top of the barrow

The Butt, Fritham

Situated on the edge of the New Forest village of Fritham, this prominent bowl barrow's name suggests that it was used in later times for archery practice. Later still during World War II it had a brick built construction on top of it which may have been an observation post for the nearby airfield at Ocknell (RAF Stoney Cross). The surrounding ditch is still visible, though obviously filled up slightly over several millennia.
