Lino ???

My initial thought, too, but if it were there would surely be some sort of woven hessian backing. How thick is it and is it friable (crumbly)?

Looks to be asphalt flooring.

Thank you. I don't think it's lino, it's quite thick and very crumbly.
I've been reluctant to dig down to check exact thickness in case it contains asbestos.

I don't suppose that it's very degraded underlay?

Quite possibly. I've ordered a home asbestos kit where you send a sample to a lab, just to be safe. Here's hoping it's not asbestos as my costs seem to be racking up quickly enough without that
It’s magnesite. Remove it and get the floor asphalted or latex screed with a liquid dpm.
