Mining
On a quiet stretch of County Galway countryside near Boley, a disused gravel pit sits in the landscape, the kind of industrial remnant that rarely earns a second glance but quietly marks the point where human extraction and geological time intersect.
Gravel pits of this sort were once worked extensively across Ireland, supplying aggregate for road construction and local building projects before mechanised quarrying made smaller operations uneconomical.
