If its a wagon it might be for the rear wiper

If its a "County" model, probably for a clock.

Cheers,

Maybe the rear wiper/washer switch

if its real,,
maybe a pic???

Well thats easy, its to let the water out of the dashboard after it comes in from another hole near windscreen.

p.s. make sure you also have a hole in the floor to allow the water from the hole in the dash to finally find its way back to where it originally come from.

You clearly don't own a Defender or earlier. The hole near the windscreen is the air vent and you don't need a hole in the floor because the water will drain out around the door seals
