Hello,
I've got two small concrete manhole covers in my front garden about five feet apart. One has an inspection pipe and the other was full of silt until I dug down a foot and hit solid stone and what looks like a capped off pipe. I've linked two pictures on Photo Bucket. Image one is the working drain (I think) and image two looks to be no longer active.

I'm selling the house and the buyer wants me to fix the blocked off drain, but I don't think it needs fixing. It doesn't go anywhere.
I'm on the end of a row of houses and wondered if the blocked off manhole indicates the end of the drainage for these houses. Honestly, I have no clue what I'm talking about, so any drain expert out there is welcome to suggest what's really going on.
I've asked Anglian Water for a drainage map to see what's going on and have been met with confusion and silence.
Any suggestions welcome
