While digging the garden I came across a 8mm armoured cable, about 8 inches under an old lawn with yellow plastic warning buried about an inch over the top of it. It appears to be running towards a street lamp.
I didn't damage it or disturb it much, and it isn't in my way.
Is a 8mm dia armoured cable - diameter across the steel armour - about right for a small street lamp? It seems to be running from the school next door. Should the council be paying me a rent on this bit of space?
I thought that buried cable should be at least 18 inches down.
