Newburgh Level at Red Rake Mine is a mining feature located in Derbyshire that represents industrial activity related to mineral extraction in the region. The level constitutes an underground passage driven horizontally into the hillside, a characteristic engineering approach used in English mining to access ore deposits and facilitate drainage of workings. The site is designated as a scheduled ancient monument, reflecting its historical importance to the understanding of Derbyshire's mining heritage. The feature dates from the period of lead and fluorspar mining activity that characterised the Peak District and surrounding areas, though the precise dating of this particular level would depend on detailed archaeological investigation and historical records specific to the Red Rake Mine operation.
