Green pipe buried in garden

josip

I was digging a hole close to the boundary wall over the weekend when I found a green pipe about 6" down running parallel to the wall.



It's 14mm diameter and there are no markings
The house is 30 years old and we moved in a few years ago. We didn't put it there.

I don't need to move it so I'm going to leave it where it is but I was wondering if anyone could tell from the pic what was liklely to be in it originally electric cables/gas/something else? It's more of a pipe than conduit so I don't think it's cables. Previous owners had a gas barbeque on the other side of the garden so I don't think it's gas.
It's possible it's just dumped there and doesn't actually go anywhere/do anything.

Its not a bit of buried garden hose is it?

Or is it in line with a shed and kitchen, maybe its an old gas pipe where the bottlegas was used and the bottle kept in the shed or where a shed may have been?

Could it be Qualpex Oil pipe ???

Thanks Cerastes and Billy.

The pipe seems too rigid to be garden hose. An oil pipe would make sense however if the house originally had an oil burner instead of gas.
