What is this box

[Bobbibee]

Hi, does anyone have any idea what this box is? It's not leading to any internet/tv/landlines. It is next to the front door and appears to go into the ceiling near the kitchen (bedroom directly above) no wires or sockets to be found in these areas which could be connected to it. I would like to remove it

Thanks

It could be absolutely anything at all, but the round cable dropping down towards it, would suggest telephone or a LAN cable. Why not remove the cover and take a peep inside?

2 screws and look inside.

Whatever it is, it wasn't secured to the wall very well.

Completely pointless underneath, looks like an old Internet cable leading to upstairs before wifi

Could have been where the old bt master socket was the cable looks like phone and the small cutout in the bottom also suggests phone. as said take the lid off and post some more pics
