Mining
On the edge of Portumna in County Galway, a disused sand pit sits quietly in the landscape, the kind of place that rarely draws attention but carries its own muted interest.
Sand pits of this type were once commonplace across Ireland, worked for the fine aggregate material used in construction and road-making, then left to revert to scrub or water once the resource was exhausted or the demand moved on.
