underground vault
Subterranean storage room
An underground vault is a secure storage chamber built beneath ground level.
Banks use underground vaults to protect cash and valuables; governments store documents or gold reserves in them.
The term also applies to burial chambers and wine cellars—any enclosed space below the surface designed for safekeeping or preservation.
