Fletcheras Rake is a lead mining site located in Cumberland, England, representing industrial extraction activity in the region. The workings consist of surface features associated with lead ore extraction, typical of the mining landscapes that developed across northern England during the medieval and early modern periods. Such rake mines, characterised by open trenching and surface working of mineral veins, form an important part of the archaeological record of non-ferrous metal exploitation. The site contributes to understanding the development of lead mining technology and practice in the Pennine and Lake District regions during the period when such ventures supplied materials for domestic and commercial use.
