Accounts vary, some say it glanced off a stag or a tree, others that it was a deliberate shot.

A dragon once made his den at Burley Beacon, rising each morning and flying across the heath to Bisterne where fresh milk was left out to appease him. For years the dragon was fed, his shadow passing over woodlands, heath and villages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"741\" data-end=\"1269\"\u003eDetermined to end the terror, a valiant knight, named Berkeley, built a hide and lay in wait with two loyal dogs. When the dragon came for its milk, the dogs leapt, and while they fought bravely the knight struck. He had covered his armour in glass to deflect the dragon’s fire. The battle raged across the forest itself, fierce and unrelenting, until the dragon fell near Lyndhurst. His huge body became the hill at Boltons Bench, rising from the earth as a reminder of the struggle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1271\" data-end=\"1482\"\u003eYet victory came at a cost.
