(are they still called that) BT Openreach have been doing some work in my
area (Fibre?) and on my daily walks I have noticed some poles have at the
base a 20mm diameter rod or tube abutting the post with about a foot above
ground and a metal staple holding it against the post - and a rubber or
plastic cap on it.

Has anyone noticed the same and has any idea what it could be?

I have seen it done when they want to bring an underground cable out
next to a post from an underground conduit, with the intention of then
running a wire up the side of the pole. The cap just there until the
separate team come along to pull the wire.
