Go to your local HD or Lowes or whatever, in the section that has underground sprinklers you can find a nice box with a removable lid, you can dig around the hole a bit and bury this level to the ground and then it is easily accessible, saf and wont look at all out of place. They come in a few shapes and sizes.

They are cheap and in my experience, if you don't know why it's there best not to screw with it, someone did it for a reason and if you aren't having water issues its probably working. It may just be there so you can monitor the ground water saturation of your weeping tile.
