Hello,
I've uncovered a flagstone floor (2nd one) and I've come across an area that appears to be aggregate/concrete.
I've removed the old floor screeds but this area is slightly higher than the flags and I can't make any impression on it at all.
There is some kind of paint on top layer, and another thin layer of awful, super hard screed before the aggregate/concrete.
What is it, and why is it there...and should I leave it alone?
The house was built 1826
Many thanks for any help.
