Mining
On the edge of Cappasallagh in County Galway, there is a disused gravel pit, the kind of place that rarely attracts attention precisely because it no longer serves its original purpose.
Gravel extraction was once a routine part of rural industry across Ireland, supplying material for road-building and construction, and the pits left behind after the work ended became quiet, unremarkable features of the landscape, gradually absorbed by scrub and grass.
