I think there may be a lid of some sort after all. When I get a bit of time I will investigate further. But I seem to have revealed an edge I can try to gently pry

That's what it looks like, I have had a bucket of water down it and it does drain away, all be it very slowly. Funnily enough I was thinking pressure washer last night

Luton The 'planman' was looking and listening whilst I was flushing. Admittedly I have not done it myself. I'll try that tomorrow

That is what I was expecting to see. But it's not. There is no visible flow when I flush, not even a ripple Reached in with pliers to grab the 'pipe'in the middle of the puddle. But it's not shifting Wondering if the only way I am going to find out is to dig the drive up and follow the pipework
