Mining
At Claggernagh in County Galway, a disused gravel pit sits quietly in the landscape, the kind of place that rarely draws attention precisely because it no longer serves any obvious purpose.
Gravel extraction was once a commonplace industrial activity across rural Ireland, supplying material for road-building and local construction, and the pits left behind are a familiar if unremarkable feature of the midland and western countryside.
