What earth clamp? I thought this was an SWA cable, why is an earth clamp involved in this?

God knows why. Installed 20 to 25 years ago by who knows who ?

Sounds a shoddy job. Maybe the SWA wasn't surrounded by sand and the sheath had been damaged.

You really need to focus on the length of SWA in question. If it was me I would completely strip down all the terminations BOTH ends and also IR from both ends at 500V minimum.
Ze at origin is a good reading
