Hello everyone, I've removed loads of earth to get a flat area for slabbing. I unexpectedly came across this. It looks like a pipe, it's very tough when tapped and the holes appear to contain fibres, what is this and what's it for?

At first I thought it might have been a pipe to protect some cables, but I can't see anything inside. It doesn't smell and appears dry inside.

No idea what the pipe is, could be just an old pipe thrown there, why are you digging so deep? surely you can't go below the brickwork.
 
Thanks for your reply, I used the hose to put water down the rain water trap for the garage guttering (the brickwork you referred to) and I could see it moving through that pipe.

It's such a strange pipe. Tapping on it with my hand, it feels and sounds like metal and even looks a bit like copper but it can't be as I can see fibres through the hole.
