Mining
Within the grounds of Dalystown Demesne in County Galway lies a disused gravel pit, the kind of industrial remnant that tends to go unnoticed on estate land, gradually reclaimed by vegetation and quietly forgotten.
Gravel extraction was once a practical necessity on landed estates, providing material for the upkeep of carriage drives, paths, and yards, and pits of this kind were commonly dug wherever suitable deposits lay close to the surface.
