Well dodgy spur :) Totally the kind of thing that Part P and the regs were designed to put a stop to. Proved to be quite safe over a fair number of years though.
If the cable there is a ring main why not just connect up the socket, does it need re-wiring all the way back to the board?
It's not a ring - wires coming in from the left run back to the CU, exiting to the right go to the various (now removed) sockets and/or appliances.
I'd need to check the other socket in the room, thinking about it that might be where the wires which run to the now-discovered socket have been disconnected.
