In the home I purchased, there is a hole that is something like 5 inches x 5 inches and about 6-8 feet deep with rocks at the bottom.
Does anyone have any idea what this hole might be for? It seems exceptionally dangerous as a small child could probably fall into this hole. The cover is a rotting piece of wood I have to replace anyways. I'm just trying to figure out whether I should try to block the hole in a more temporary method or permanent method.
Since I have no idea what the hole is for, I was leaning towards for a temporary method such as putting a 4 x 4 x 8' fence post into the hole before replacing the top cover. This so that if someone were to remove that cover, at least a small kid couldn't fall inside. I'm also leaning towards covering the hole with something heavier and more durable against the elements like a concrete stepping stone slab.
Thoughts?
