It is an extra port for a breather system, if you don't need it just stick a short bolt in.

a wire is normally fixed there with a screw and a clamp in it but most peeps drill out thread and vent there breather systems back to sump through it by drilling a hole

If it's the hole with the fitting in, as shown below, it's for an aftermarket breather.
If it's the hole slightly above and rearwards without the fitting in, it's for draining coolant from out of the block.
