Cistern. Mid C18 with C20 addition and alteration. Ashlar with
C20 brick addition. Ashlar-lined pit 1m square and two-thirds
metre deep has sides raised in yellow brick. On west side an
ashlar channel, cut from solid stone, leads to a stone sink
with rebates in top and iron bar leaded in one side and
originally fastening across centre. Further ashlar channel
blocks scattered in ground nearby, and paved surround to
cistern broken and dislodged. From this water flowed to the
pyramidal Well Head (qv) 100m to west. An important survival
of the C18 arrangement for water supply to the Bishop of
Durham's Palace (Auckland Castle, qv).
