Long Work is a 16th and 17th century copper mine located approximately 400 metres north west of Waterfall Buttress in Cumberland, England. The site represents evidence of early modern mineral extraction activities in the Lake District, a region that saw intensified copper mining during this period as demand for the metal increased. The mine workings, identifiable as surface features characteristic of this era of mining practice, contribute to the archaeological record of Tudor and Stuart period industrial activity in the upland landscape of north west England.
