Quarry, Portumna Demesne, Co. Galway

Mining
Within the grounds of Portumna Demesne in County Galway there sits a disused quarry, the kind of feature that tends to vanish from official accounts once its practical purpose has ended.
Quarries like this one were once central to the working life of large estates, supplying the stone that built walls, outbuildings, and estate infrastructure, and their abandonment often leaves a quiet, sunken scar in the landscape that outlasts the activity by centuries.
