Yes, dig it over. The turf won't grow well if the soil is compacted, and you will want to remove any buried builders' debris.

And you can almost guarantee the builders will have buried debris in your garden...

Sounds like a cliche but I dug up a big boot amongst the debris. Wonder what happened as it wasn't worn down! A builder missing a boot?

Did you find the rest of it, like the bonnet and doors?
