This mounting block (if that's what it is) was presumably placed here when the Widhill Walk bridge (behind the photographer) taking the bridleway across the A419 dual carriageway was built. The bridge crosses very high above a hectic road, and on the other side are steps leading up to it from Widhill Lane, so it is probably better to lead a horse rather than ride it across.
