Mining
On the edge of Cartron in County Galway, a disused gravel pit sits quietly in the landscape, the kind of feature that rarely earns a second glance but accumulates its own particular character over time.
Gravel pits of this sort were once working parts of the rural economy, excavated to supply material for road-making, building foundations, and drainage work. When extraction stopped, they were typically left to whatever the land and weather chose to do with them next.
