I did some digging around the Rocheblave house a few years ago to do some plantings. Ran into the same thing, although JimL concluded the bricks were land fill comprised of debris from previous fires. I used a long iron bar to pry bricks out, since they were wedged in pretty well. Between what I dug up and what I could salvage from the empty lot next door, I had enough to widen by about a foot the concrete path from the side door to the back yard with bricks.

Someone stole most of them.

Fucker.

But there's a few left near the gate.

The smaller fragments (and some oyster shells) were used to fill a depression between the sidewalk and driveway. That seems to be holding up very well.
