The more I see the less I understand

I’ve seen this old gate before. A lot of times. But it wasn’t until I made this image that I noticed that the window seems to be at the bottom of the gate. That doesn’t seem exactly right.

Nor, of course, does a gate-window seem quite right.

  2. I think it is a dog door for a large dog… one panel slides up and the dog can go out, slides down and the dog stays inside…

  3. I agree with Vera…my first thought was a door for an animal to get in/out.

  4. One of our neighbors had a dog that wouldn’t stop barking, he could hear things but couldn’t see what it was so he barked. When they cut a hole in the fence and put some lattice in it so he could see out, he stopped barking.

  5. I agree dog door. Maybe so that dog could come and go as it pleased and livestock couldn’t? Protection from something. Not bears, or cougars, or wolves or other predators I don’t suppose. Maybe human predators? Or perhaps nosy photographers.
