    It’s not a manhole, it’s way too small. But yeah not sure why it’s square. Could be European, they do weird stuff like that all the time.

      You’re right. OP called it a manhole, so I assumed. But looking at the size compared to the foot, it’s too small to be a manhole cover.

        It’s probably a hand hole for accessing a pipe or cable junction, likely smaller because it’s where business or homes hook in. I work for an ISP, and most of ours are about this size

      I see small square junction box things like this all the time in California. Mostly in-between where two homes’ lawns meet. The one I had in my lawn before I moved to an apartment sucked because it was slightly raised from the grass and was in an awkward position to try and get the mower around.
