Mining
At the edge of Ballynamurdoon in County Galway lies a disused gravel pit, the kind of small industrial scar that the landscape has largely absorbed back into itself.
Gravel extraction of this sort was once commonplace across rural Ireland, supplying the material needs of local road-making and construction, and leaving behind shallow depressions that gradually soften into scrub or boggy ground.
