Birkby Colliery conical spoil tip is a nineteenth-century industrial monument located approximately 600 metres west of Rose Gill Mill in Cumberland, England. The site represents the physical legacy of coal extraction activity during the period of intensive industrialisation in the region, when the coalfields of Cumberland were actively worked. The conical form of the spoil tip is characteristic of waste material accumulation from mining operations, with the distinctive shape created by the systematic tipping of mining debris over an extended period. This monument survives as tangible evidence of the region's industrial heritage and the scale of coal production that supported the local and wider economy during the nineteenth century.
