I've had a look today and I really can't see any evidence of a DPC. I'm sure there is one of course but its very well hidden !

Thank you for all your suggestions . You've been very helpful and certainly given me a few options to think about . I can't actually tell where the damp proof course is . I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for to be honest ! I appreciate that I shouldn't have my rainwater running off over...
