Deleted an old junction-box hole

I live in an old house - the central part was built in the 1860's, and other bits added on over the years. I'm not sure when the kitchen was last remodeled, but decades ago; the bulkhead above the cupboards is painted paneling, and there was once an outlet in the bulkhead, directly above the sink, presumably for a plug-in clock. (All you young whippersnappers have no idea what I'm talking about but get off my lawn anyway.)

The outlet and junction box are long since buried in a landfill somewhere, but there was still the hole, with a blank cover plate just kind of stuck over it. I was painting the room anyway, and decided it was time to do something about the hole.
