What does X on a private runway mean?

Question

Does an X at the ends of a private runway mean it's inoperable or does it mean its restricted to the public?

@AEhere I think OP is aware that X means "closed" but would like to know if the reason of the closing can be inferred for a private runway. — Quentin H, Jul 18 '19 at 09:42
@QuentinH That is primarily-opinion based as we do not read minds. There is a question to be asked, however, about the suitability and/or legality of closing a working (and potentially active) runway via an X marker, but that is too removed from the OPs wording. — AEhere supports Monica, Jul 18 '19 at 10:52

One of the reasons why a private runway owner would "X" it would be to indicate that the runway is not in good condition or closed. This can be for a genuine concern or to avoid liability concerns.

Or just because they don't want you to land on their field. – Quentin H Jul 18 '19 at 09:38
