Strange small bung/covered plug on outside house
Aug 3rd, 2015, 2:17pm
 
Hello, iv'e discovered a small covered bung or plug on the outside of my house wall, i may have only really just noticed it but i have no idea what it is as it seems to just sit in the stone brick like a covered raw plug type thing, its about the size of my small finger nail, had a black cap with a white washer around that and looks to have been pushed into a drilled hole, is it anything to do with  an old  satelite dish or telecom object, there are no wires from it externally, it's really vexing me, does anyone know plse  Undecided Image 1

I've seen these on a few buildings and always assume it's something to do with cavity wall insulation  Undecided

Not really sure, would be interested to know.
