Oh, duh. I hope you didn’t read my original reply. I thought you were referring to the original image that @frauenfelder posted, so my earlier reply would not have made much sense.
The pic I posted upthread came from Reddit and was unattributed. I spent a lot of time at Meade but it was a looooong time ago and this pic is recent. Here’s a larger version with more detail:
Yeah, there was a fence, they took it down, but left this part up for the replacement fence crew to use as a reference. The property surveys of the two adjacent properties probably show this point. There might be a “rod” buried nearby.
This was as much as Trump could get Mexico to pay for.
(And to be honest, it was all change he found on the ground there.)
It’s for keeping trespassers out of the spaghetti farm.
My guess is that some officials have ordered the owner to erect a fence, who then complied in the most defiant way.
I’m pretty sure it can have some kinky use.
Curses. Foiled again!
This!
If it was narrow, all fences would be about the same length 
Actually I thought I saw a water tap at the bottom of the short (not unusually thin) fence. So maybe its protecting the tap and possibly a water meter.
Surely not The Princess Bride 2?

Oh. Ah well.
I was thinking the same, some legal bullcrap or an overbearing neighborhood association mandating a fence.
It is a fence seed. Planted in hopes that a fence will blossom.
hey, it worked!
The fence may be for mounting a mail box IMHO.
It’s the three dimensional projection of a fourth dimensional hyper fence.
Oh, that fence. That fence isn’t chain-link. That fence is either white pickets precisely three feet seven and a half inches tall or it’s a specific model of fake wrought iron from a company that no longer exists.
If you build it, they will come?
The remains of two fences on two properties, one post on each side of the property line.
As a home improvement installed sales representative for a then major department store in the 1970’s, this is the same ploy I used for selling aluminum siding.
Permanently install a sample example to the building or property then leave. The lucky home owner tires of looking at it and begs you to finish the job. Then I would go to the next door neighbor and explain before the first fence is being installed, how much they would save on bulding their own new fence, in both labor and material costs because “my team” was already there on site.
BTW, " Good fences make Good neighbors. "
