In this aerial photo of TRPG - John Osborne/Montserrat, there can be seen, left of the runway at midfield, a brown rectangular object on its own cement pad. Outside the perimeter fence, but only accessible via a gated road from the runway.

Seems to be just a rusty metal box, 10m x 3m x 2.5m. Possibly with trailer wheels.

Not the NDB hut, since that (red+white) is directly across the runway by the main ramp.

Anyone have local knowledge? Remnant of the old Bramble airport (eaten by the Soufriere Hills volcano in 1997), rescued and transplanted as a memorial?

Just a guess but it looks like a burnt out shell of a vehicle for the fire services to practice on.
