Is it an official crossing?
In the past the footpath used to run across the field here but the Keynsham Bypass was built in the 1960s, cutting through it. Has there been a tacit ackowledgement that the path still crosses the dual carriageway? The short concrete path in the central reservation appears to carry on to the other side, where it meets up with other paths. See
Image] for more evidence.

A path of peril?
The public footpaths around the west end of Keynsham are bisected by the bypass. It appears that the stile marks where historic paths crossed the fields before construction. See

Seen from a footpath through a gap in the hedgerow.
The main rail line between Bristol and Bath is on the next embankment over.
The River Avon is on the other side of the field, where the bushes and trees begin.

Old Building, Station Rd, Keynsham
This building apparently dates back to 1343, and in the vicinity of the Abbey at that time. It has what is perhaps some memorabilia of the abbey in its wall see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1730350.
