Dale Head copper mine is a recorded ancient monument located approximately 300 metres north-east of Dale Head in Cumberland, England. The site represents evidence of metalworking activity during the early modern period, when copper extraction became increasingly important to the English economy. The mine workings themselves comprise surface and subsurface features typical of early mineral extraction, reflecting the technological and organisational approaches to mining during this period. The monument forms part of the broader landscape of metal mining activity in the Lake District and North West England, areas which were exploited for their ore deposits from the medieval period onwards.
