Denbury Cistern is a historic water conduit head that stands in the centre of Denbury village. It was built in 1771 and supplied water to four street taps in the village. The water was piped from Denbury Hill, an Iron Age hill fort nearby. The cistern has a pyramidal roof with a finial that bears the date of its construction. It also carries the war memorials for the village. The cistern may have originally been the village lock-up, converted to use as a water cistern later. In 2001, the cistern was restored and interpreted with a grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
