Fireweed is so lovely in thick stands like this! By the way, it is edible if you are in need.

Looks like WWII ammo storage structures (igloo magazines) like I inspected thousands of during my 37 year Civil Service career in explosives.

The stones are either border markers between parishes (like in this case) or mile markers (a Swedish mile is 10 km).
