Burley Old is filled with man made curios, probably the longest serving and most enigmatic is one I know as the 'Hermitage'. It's been a feature of Burley Old for as long as I can remember, over 30 years, I think. I named it the Hermitage for it's proportions, it's a fair size, very well constructed and maintained (whether by the same person I don't know), although it only has a very small space inside it, only enough for one person to sit. It reminded me of a wooden interpretation of those beehive huts you find in Ireland, which I believe were types of hermitage. It's an ambition of mine to spend the night sat in the 'Hermitage' ... I've just not had the bottle yet. It's a weird old wood.
