    Wow,
      The hole isn't even round. That's right by where the spare tire hold down rod would go, but that bracket looks boogered up to. I think someone has been cutting on your trunk. I have no guess why.

    I would leave it and hide a spare key under the mat!!  Then you can reach your fingers in there to get it!!  j/k   I would weld it shut.  But that is just my $.02.

    OK, we've worked out it's not suppose to be there but why is it there?
    Could it have been for possibly trunk mounted  items, such as a battery, NOS etc??

    Hmm, no idea why someone would have that hole in that specific location.  Maybe it was used with a fuel cell in the trunk and that's where the lines were ran????
