If you'll look closely, you can see that there's an additional 2 screw clamp fitting coming from the top of the box. Also, what looks like a cord is fastened to the post in the background, and was possibly connected there.

It looks to me like this is an abandoned connection of some kind, the guy that disconnected it was bored and had a little too much play time on his hands.

Some of these boxes have a pair of ~5/32" holes on all 4 sides. I don't know just what these holes are really meant to be used for (obviously not this). They don't make very good attachment points for the box. They've just always been there.

Receptacle? What receptacle? [Linked Image]
