Not much to go on from such a small photograph. From how shallow it is it resembles something like a cistern or a well-built outhouse pit. Those types of things have a tendency to collect junk. There are some other structures it could be depending on how much of it remains covered. Whatever it is it was most likely left in place because getting rid of well-built brick structure is hard, to say nothing if it uses rebar. You'll most likely leave it in place for the same reason, and another person fifty years hence can ask the same question and history may repeat.

2cnded. I thought this aswell but decided against posting a ton more because I already have like 20 posts in this thread.

My next guess is a factory that was bombed in ww2 and had like a flooded basement, they just bulldozed it down and put dirt on top probably.

I doubt it is an outhouse, as the deeds of the property have an outhouse in a leanto on the rear of the building.

It won't be a bomb-damaged factory because it is only 4x4ft, and these kind of city houses in the UK are like 100 years old. @Swish

It's been snowing on and off most the day, so haven't bothered digging more... gonna try to fully excavate the whole 4x4 area so I can try work out how to improve the drainage of the area, if nothing else. Hopefully it won't burst full of old sewage or anything! The water level hasn't really increased from when I bailed it out yesterday. My watering cans are full of nice muddy water now!

A secret smuggling tunnel into one of those bricked up rivers?

I do live half a mile from a fairly major in-land waterway.

I just want it to be cool and work out for you! Imagine finding some long forgotten treasure protected in there. Like the Crown Jewelry.

That would be pretty cool! It does seem to be just backfilled rubble atm though. I'll probably fill it up with plastic skeletons and stuff when I back fill it.
