someone went to the trouble of building them into the wall ...
it's not dry stone , stone is mortared together,so a modern wall .(so i can't think of a historical need for voids)
trellis panels are retro fitted  ::)
so , maybe for tea-light candles or other light source  :-\
spy hole to see if your car has not been nicked
about 6 foot apart  :-\ could you park your car headlamps level to provide lighting for the patio party  ;D
OK I don't know  ;D

I'm going to have to find out, or it will annoy the fick out of me.
I thought they may be some kind of ferret assault course.  ;D

The resident of the house was or is an old sea dog and he missed the portholes, that now he can see when sitting in the garden. :D :D ;)

the wall only looks about 9-12 inches thick ,so i doubt (and can not see) a void sideways of the clay pipe  :-\
bit low down and urban for nesting holes  :-\

poor attempt at an architectural feature   :P

modern arrow slots

covert drug deal serving hatch

yet more poor forward planning by severn trent water

vent for BBQ chimney

Maybe the builder put them in so people would wonder why  ;D

Severn Trent? Nay, lad, it's proper Yorkshire water up here. Anyhow, I'm gonna block them up with paper towels or the like tomorrow, then see if a local runs up and says, 'Thee can't do that, lad, because...................' :)

Post pub urinal. You and your mate stand there and ask passers by how far it is going.
