Believed to be the first in the country, this sign, erected at the request of local people by Hampshire County Council, is to prevent big lorries from getting stuck down this narrow lane. Several press articles about this, for example http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23386018-details/First+'ignore+your+sat+nav'+roadsigns+go+up/article.do (Note: this is not the Beacon Hill Lane marked on my 1:25,000 OS map)
