Found builders rubble under wooden floor

Folks,

As the title says,found rubble right up to the joists. Floors look like they were layed around 1920s or 30s so I expect they were too tight to get a skip (if they even existed then). I hope this is the case and its not acting as any kind of support. It's my understanding that this void under the floor should be kept clear to allow for ventilation and stop moisture rising up to living area. There is no dpc in this house. Should I be looking at removing this? Depending on the depth, were prob looking at about 5 ton of rubble here
