Hidden floor drain? Help.

Moved into old house and am just getting familar with the plumbing. I found what I think is a floor drain hidden under some wood with a tshirt stuffed into it. Im not sure what to do with it? I see some standing water in it.

I have a seperate sump pit with working pump. This "hole" is about 20 feet away from it. There is also a seperate small floor drain that the condensate flows into about 10 feet from it. Abouyt 3 feet away from the hidden drain there is a drain in the stairwell of a walkout......

Without you being able to see it perhaps I wont get much help here, can anyone venture a guess?

Should I uncover it and put a cover on it? Or perhaps plug it with a rubber stopper? Since it was intentionally hidden under wood and a shirt was stuffed in it I cant venture to guess what the previous owners were thinking?
