Mining
In the townland of Carrownafinnoge in County Galway, there sits a disused gravel pit, the kind of industrial remnant that accumulates quietly in the landscape, neither celebrated nor much remarked upon.
Gravel extraction was once a practical and widespread activity across rural Ireland, supplying material for road-making and construction, and the pits left behind often become small features of the local terrain, slowly reclaimed by vegetation and weather.
