Coalcleugh lead rake is a linear mineral vein working located in the Northern Pennines near Weardale in Northumberland. The site represents lead mining activity dating from the post-medieval period, when the extraction of lead ore from surface veins became an established industry in this region. The rake itself comprises a trench or groove along the exposed mineral seam where miners extracted lead-bearing ore, leaving evidence of the extraction techniques employed during centuries of working. The site preserves important archaeological and industrial heritage relating to the non-ferrous metal mining that characterised the Northern Pennine landscape from the sixteenth century onwards.
