Pebbledash on ground

Don't worry not looking to pebbledash the ground.

 

Old 1930s property, at the back theres pebbledash not particularly neat or tidy on the ground against the wall.

Curiousity got the better of me and i decided to lift a section only to discover what could be described as builders rubble etc underneath and it was a good 10cm or so thick. I always thought maybe the house was re-rendered and it was a messy decades old mess never been cleaned.

 

Any vaguest ideas why this may have been done?

 

I thought maybe something to do with damp and water run off or protection but the DPM is viewable elsewhere around the house. It's doesn't go higher than the vents to the crawl space. It's cracked from age and the odd bit missing and no obvious signs of damp internally.

 

We're stumped why it's like that.
