Engine Sough is a lead mine drainage system located approximately 500 metres south of Mam Tor in Derbyshire. The sough represents the application of industrial drainage technology to lead mining operations in the Peak District, dating from the early modern period when such engineering solutions became necessary to access deeper ore deposits. The associated nucleated mining settlement reflects the concentration of workers and infrastructure required to support extraction and processing activities at this location. The site constitutes significant evidence of the technical and social organisation of lead mining in one of England's principal mining regions.
