Mining
At Gorteenphadder in County Galway, a disused quarry sits quietly in the landscape, the kind of place that tends to get passed over precisely because its purpose was once so ordinary.
Quarries like this one were the unglamorous infrastructure of the countryside, cut into hillsides and fields to supply stone for walls, roads, and buildings in the surrounding area. When the work stopped, they were simply left.
