Shocking bad paint job bottom right. Socket looks a bit like a European
9mm IEC male, as used for VHF TV and radio. But the surround would prevent the use of a female with a thick outer.Bill
It looks from the legend that you might push or screw some sort of key into it, possibly to lock or release something (elsewhere)?

I think it's just a picture of a right angle Belling Lee plug.

Only if they can't handle 3D pictures. ;-)
The image indicates to me a 'key' similar to the ones you get on some of the cycle 'D' / shackle locks.
Maybe it's just that, a 'secure' isolator of some sort?
I can't see how it is likely to be any TV aerial type connection on what looks like an external type wall?

It would help if we had geater evidence of its surroundings and why you want to know, assuming you took the photo, and are not just curious about someone else's query on the unnamed web forum.
Yes its a link to a picture. I claim my prize! Brian
I'd say it was an outdoor TV aerial socket or similar and there should be a sealing plug/bung for when it's not in use which you hang on a nearby nail when it is in use.
Cheers
