Airbrick below ground level, and damp wall inside

Thats a air brick cover

Why would you want to cover an air brick? The cover will only reduce or prevent ventilation.

Why do you think that you need to do anything? What's the actual problem it is causing?

damp patches on the wall inside mate, going to repoint the wall also but figured the air brick was not helping

When that concrete was put down they were too lazy to dig out what was there first. You could now excavate and re-do it at the original lower level. That may or may not solve your problem though. Some pics of the inside might give a clue to the more experience people here.

How much space is there under the floor there? Any access to get in and crawl around? (Borrow a small child if necessary.)
