our gaff (1950's build) has almost identical concrete inserted into the outer brickwork.the soffits, however, are apparently asbestos. a closer look will show the difference in thicness, the concrete is roughly 2 ft. long, 6" in height, and 4" width.
 
from this angle you can clearly see the extent of the concrete. the actual soffit is only about 1/4" thick.

It's a cast in-situ concrete ring beam - it ties the top of the brick/blockwork together and is the landing pad for the roof timbers.

Dont be tempted to fix anything to it, or drill/core through it.
