Capping coldwater supply?

[homesolutions]

Good evening all, i have an old outside toilet that i would like to remove which is still in working order.
I can knock it down but my only question is how to cap the lead pipe water supply?
I know that i can buy a lead pipe cap fit but the pipe comes up half way in the yard so i would need to numatic up the ground to reveal the pipe being careful not puncture it and obviously to have turned of the water supply, but when i get the pipe back to a suitable place how do i end it?
Do i just cap it under ground and concrete over it, do i dig out more around it and then build a little box around it with a lid and a tap?
Thanks for your advice.
Regards
Lee

use a leadloc, if its off to one side of the garden could concider making it an outside tap.

Officially you should remove the whole section of pipe right back to where it tee's off to avoid creating a deadleg.

If you convert it into an outside tap then it isn't a deadleg...
