Is there a drain pipe under the surface there that might be broken?

I do not know if a drain pipe runs under this area. The area is paved and
appears to dry out OK. No work has been carried out in this area for at
least 10 years so there is no danger of a pipe being fractured. Is it likely
that a drain pipe could break without being accidently damaged?
