Any thoughts on what this is?

Yes, clothes line looks most likely now.

I would nibble a bit more off the top, tidy around it with soil and rubble and just leave it there under whatever you plan to put in place of the paving.

Unless you want to clear the whole area and grow plants or lawn there of course.

Yeah my plan is to put grass over the whole area. I've chipped a bit more off it and may now just bury it with soil and hope for the best. Although I can't quite believe someone would use soo much concrete for a clothes dryer!

In the 1970's bags of cement and ready mix were bigger, 56 kilo if I remember correctly, so that would have been easy way to dispose of it.

They were normally one cwt, or 112lb which is just over 50kg.

Yes I was looking forward to the concrete being removed and exposing steps down to an ancient crypt
