Mining
At the townland of Toorleitra in County Galway, there is a disused gravel pit, quiet now and left to whatever the land decides to do with it.
Such workings were once a practical necessity across rural Ireland, supplying the loose aggregate used to surface roads and tracks before tarmacadam became the standard.
