Mining
At Cloonacastle in County Galway, a disused gravel pit sits quietly in the landscape, one of countless small extraction sites that shaped the texture of rural Ireland without ever making it into the histories.
Gravel pits of this kind were working features of local life, dug to supply road-building and construction materials before modern aggregate supply chains made such local sourcing largely redundant.
