Mohopehead leadmine and ore works is a scheduled ancient monument located in Northumberland, representing the industrial exploitation of lead deposits in the North Pennines during the post-medieval period. The site comprises the physical remains of mining and ore processing infrastructure associated with lead extraction, which formed part of the broader mining activity characteristic of this historically important mineral-producing region. The leadmine installations reflect the technological approaches and labour-intensive methods employed in early modern metal extraction before the advent of large-scale industrial mechanisation. The survival of structural remains at Mohopehead provides archaeological evidence for understanding the development and operational character of lead mining enterprises in northern England.
