Dale Head copper mine is a post-medieval extractive site located in Cumberland, England. The mine represents the exploitation of copper deposits in the Lake District during the early modern period, when mineral extraction became an increasingly significant economic activity in the region. The site comprises physical remains associated with underground mining operations typical of this era, including features such as shafts and associated surface workings characteristic of early copper mining practice. The monument is evidence of the industrial development that occurred in the English uplands during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, when improvements in mining technology and rising demand for copper encouraged the systematic extraction of metalliferous ores.
