Digging post hole and ran into drain pipe

Hi All,

I'm digging a post hole and ran into a PVC drain pipe around 20" down. I'm building a deck in a really tight space, so the post hole location is pretty inflexible. Is there a way to protect the pipe and pour a concrete pier on top of the drainage pipe?

Thanks!

What kind of drain? If a gutter drain, re-route the drain pipe.

It's not a gutter drain. I think it's part of an old french drain. It's right next to the foundation.
