Yes, There are always loads of them, Barry.
The ones the Muntjac is eating are Bromley cooking apples. You’d think they would be too sour to eat but the wild animals and birds love them.

Just a load of breeze blocks & thick plastic that the builders buried under the top soil they added, when OH rotovated the garden. Under that plastic was the original field grass.

If there is, it is going to stay there as I'm not about to have around 4+ grands worth of sandstone dug up just to be curious Our builder did some surface scraping to get the levels spot on and found a Belfast sink close to the surface and some old broken china when digging the soakaway* for the drainage.

* around my area, fully paving a garden requires a soakaway to be dug first and then proper drain pipes installed to avoid surface runoff and pooling. It was the same with the front driveway before that was fully paved for the car's hardstanding. Not a low cost option, but maintenance is a simple occasional hose down for surface grime removal.

With funds like that, it sounds promising

Orange peel, Tin foil, Lion dung, all work to keep cats out of gardens. Works better than spikes.....
