This cistern lies on the line of a 10" vitreous clay pipe which ran almost certainly from the old Cheswardine Hall (aka The Hill, Chipnall), that was demolished prior to the erection of the current Cheswardine Hall in 1875. It can be found in woods to the WNW of Cheswardine Hall. The cistern is no longer utilised for drainage purposes from the Hall.
