Comments:
Apparently this is a coalhole
Coal holes: These are covers from the period when the houses were heated with coal, into which the coal bags were poured, so that the coals did not have to enter the houses.
These lids were used in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

The empty hexagons were originally covered with a transparent material, a patent of the manufacturer that allowed light to enter the basement above which was the lid.
