Hi, I need to cut off a 6.3cm cast iron pipe & plug this. What's
the best way to do this?

Plug it for what reason? Cosmetic, or to prevent the escape of..... ?

It's an ex-drain for an ex-sink. Couldn't care less what it looks like as
long as it doesn't smell. Unfortunately it's too long so I'll have to cut it.

Can put on a PVC compression fitting, but wondering if there are other ways
to more permanently plug the end. This end will never be used again so the more
permanent the better.
