That’s a throw out brick or should be buried in the masonry somewhere. Deffo not one you’d lay on show.

thanks would this be buried underground or it will be above ground when finished? will this affect the quality in the future?

It will be about 150mm above ground and visible. It is in a vulnerable position and could be damp for long periods. It should not be used there no. It may spall in the future.

I'd be more worried about that crap pointing.
