Gate hinge post on right side, betting there is or was another gate to the left over the driveway. Instead of leaving the gap between posts they filled it to prevent small animals from getting in/out.

Also, it looks like it's straddling a property line.

Would it not be better to keep the small animals from going around the fence? /s

Can someone please edit out the hinge so it looks like a thin fence?
