Park Level lead mine with ore works on Killhope Burn is a lead mining and ore processing site located in the Pennines of County Durham. The mine and its associated works date from the post-medieval period, reflecting the industrial exploitation of the lead ore deposits in this region during the seventeenth century onwards. The site comprises the mine workings themselves together with ore processing facilities situated on Killhope Burn, which provided essential water power for crushing and washing operations. The remains represent the technological infrastructure of small-scale but persistent lead extraction in the Northern Pennines during a period of significant mineral resource development.
