Think I may leave as is and put a piece of carpet of wood over the top, looks like it has been there since the house was built.

I feel your concern, the picture i posted is of ducting coming from the outside wherever the main water to the house point is, with the main feed coming up and into the house, i have never seen the like before and the house is only 42 years old , i too will just cap it rather than doing anything more permanent

If it's a pipe in a hole, rather than use cement or sand (both of which transmit cold rather well, one of which is very difficult to remove), try rock wool roof insulation, or vermiculite.

Or expanding foam?

I really hate the stuff. Gets everywhere, glues like gluey stuff, difficult to remove. Toxic to fish, looks like alien semen, costly. Builder's Graffiti, in my humble.

Beauty of something like vermiculite is, if you need to change a fitting/pull another pipe through/whatever, a quick go with a vacuum cleaner, and you are done.

But, I suppose it has its place (in the bin), and others might use it. Not that I'm biased...

Did I say, I hate the stuff?

I'd fill it in. If you CBA to do it "properly" as it's out of sight I'd get a cheap lino-style floor tile, cut it in half, cut the relevant sized hole out, slap the two halves round the pipe then gaffa tape them to the floor

And cement.

Amazing that people even think of tipping cement/concrete etc down a hole that they don’t know what it does if the pipe in it is open ended etc?
That’s one sure way to block a drain etc There is also a clue that you can feel a draft that means air is getting into it?

Put insulation in it cover over with ply etc and seal edge to stop smells etc or get appropriate fitting but that would require more effort time and inconvenience??? If you don't know what its is, does, goes too etcAbsolutely moronic too fill it with sand and cement etc:rotfl:
