Long Work is a sixteenth and seventeenth century copper mine located approximately four hundred metres north west of Waterfall Buttress in Cumberland, England. The site represents evidence of early modern mining activity in the Lake District, a region that saw intensified mineral extraction during this period as demand for copper increased. The workings comprise surface features characteristic of this era of mining technology, including evidence of the extraction methods employed before the advent of deep shaft mining. As a scheduled ancient monument, Long Work contributes to the archaeological understanding of industrial development and resource exploitation in north west England during the early modern period.
